<poem> 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: [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 Christmas This year
