B. B. King - Merry Christmas Ba lyrics

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

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
