A New Deal For Christmas

I know the Depression's depressing
The carols are stilled
The stored aren't filled
And the windows are minus the dressing
The children don't grin
The Santa's are thin
And I've heard a terrible rumour
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 deal for Christmas
This year.

Bong, bong, bong, bong
Bong, bong, bong, bong.

On Farley and Perkins
On Ikes and Wallace
On Monganthau 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 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!
