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

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.
