New Deal For Christmas
Composer(s): Martin Charnin - Charles Strouse



[Warbucks]
I know the Depression's depressing

[Grace]
The carols are stilled
The stored aren't filled

[Warbucks]
And the windows are minus the dressing

[Grace]
The children don't grin
The Santa's are thin

[Grace And Warbucks]
And I've heard a terrible rumour
No goodwill no cheer

[Warbucks]
But we'll get a new deal for Christmas
This year

[Annie And Orphans]
The snowflakes are frighting of falling

[Molly]
And oh, what a fix
No peppermint sticks!

[Warbucks]
And all through the land folks are bawling

[Grace]
And filled with despair
'Cause cupboards are bare

[Warbucks]
But Santa's got brand new assistants
There's nothing to fear
They're bringing a new deal deal for Christmas
This year

[Servants]
Bong, bong, bong, bong
Bong, bong, bong, bong

[Roosevelt]
On Farley and Perkins
On Ikes and Wallace
On Monganthau and Cummings

[All]
Fill our pockets with dollars

[Roosevelt]
On Roper and Swanson

[Roosevelt And Warbucks]
Get along Cordell Hull

[Orphans]
Get along, giddy up!

[Men]
Call your committee up

[Women]
Build every city up

[All]
Cheer every kiddy up
Fill every stocking with laughter
We haven't got room for any more gloom
Let's ring every bell from it's rafter

[Warbucks]
And chime cross the land

[Annie]
Tomorrow's at hand

[Warbucks]
Those happy days that we were promised

[Roosevelt]
Are finally here

[All]
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
Christmas
This year
