A New Deal for Christmas (From "Annie")

A New Deal for Christmas - Original Cast/Soundtrack/Cast Album

I know the depression's depressing

The carols are stilled

The stores aren't filled

And the windows are minus their dressing

The children don't grin

The santas are thin

And I've heard a terrible rumor

No goodwill no cheer

But we'll get a new deal for Christmas

This year

The snowflakes are frightened of falling

And oh what a fix

No peppermint sticks

And all through the land folks are bawling

And filled with despair

'Cause cupboards are bare

But santa's got brand new assistants

There's nothing to fear

They're bringing a new deal for Christmas

This year

Bong bong bong bong

Bong bong bong bong

On farley and Perkins

On ikes and Wallace

On morgenthau and Cummings

Fill our pockets with dollars

On roper and Swanson

Get along cordell hull

Get along giddy up

Call your committee up

Build every city up

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

And chime cross the land

Tomorrow's at hand

Those happy days that we were promised

Are finally here

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

We're getting a new deal for Christmas

Christmas

This year
