[WARBUCKS]
I know the Depression's depressing

[GRACE]
The carols are stilled
The stores aren't filled

[WARBUCKS]
And the windows are minus their dressing

[GRACE]
The children don't grin
The Santas are thin

[GRACE AND WARBUCKS]
And I've heard a terrible rumor
No goodwill no cheer

[WARBUCKS]
But we'll get a New Deal for Christmas
This year

[ANNIE AND ORPHANS]
The snowflakes are frightened 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 for Christmas
This year.

[SERVANTS]
Bong, bong, bong, bong
Bong, bong, bong, bong

[ROOSEVELT]
On Farley and Perkins
On Ikes and Wallace
On Morgenthau 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 its rafter

[WARBUCKS]
And chime cross the land

[ANNIE]
Tomorrow's at hand

[WARBUCKS]
[spoken] 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
This year
