Histeria! — New Deal For You — lyrics
{Verse 1}
The stock market went crashing
In 1929
And a deep dark depression
Sent the nation on a fiscal decline
Franklin Delanor Roosevelt
Had a plan and appeal
Became the U.S. President
And saved the nation with a brand New Deal
So if you’re living in the Dust Bowl
If you don’t have a cent
If you like government programs
But you can’t pay the rent
If you’re standing in a breadline
‘Til your feet are frozen blue
Brother, if you can’t spare a dime
The New Deal’s for you!
{Chorus 1}
Ba-ba-ba-ba-boo
New Deal for you
Ba-ba-ba-ba New Deal for you!
{Verse 2}
To build new roads and bridges
We hired ten million men
For new schools and hospitals
Cheap loans we lent
Built homes for the homeless
And the hungry we fed
We had jobs for the jobless
And labor unions were a little bit red
For cultural improvement
We gave artistic grants
To painters and musicians
And performers who could sing and dance
Built dams to send water
And electric power to southern states
Out west the dams oughta
Improve the orange farmers fates!
{Chorus 2}
Shoo-be-dooby doo
New Deal for you
Shooby-doo-waa New Deal for you!
{Verse 3}
Made it to another decade
And our country grew strong
Then came the Pearl Harbor raid
We started singing a marching song
We said goodbye to the New Deal
And hello to something totally new
With a completely different feel
It was a mess we called World War Two
If you were living in the Dust Bowl
If you didn’t have a cent
If our government programs
Helped you pay the rent
If you were standing in a breadline
‘Til the New Deal saved you
Then we have another project
It’s called World War Two
{Chorus 3}
Ba-ba-ba-ba boo
New Deal for you
Shooby-doo-waa New Deal is through!
{Outro}
Scoopy-dooby doo
Something totally new
It’s time for me and you
To fight World War Two!
