Annie the Musical - New Deal for Christmas Lyrics

(Music by Charles Strouse, Lyrics by Martin Charnin)

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
