I know the Depression's
depressing
The carols are stilled
The stores aren't filled
And windows are minus
their dressing
The children don't grin
The Santa's 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
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 anymore gloom
Let's ring every bell
from it's 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
Christmas this year
