(Franklin, Delano, Delano)
This Great Depression
Has grown worse, not lessened,
We want a new President,
'Cause Hoover's not listening,
We're jobless, bankrupt,
Living parks in the city,
I ate a boot for dinner last night,
Won't someone give me some pity?
Got a job? (New Deal) NRA gonna get you paid, (Franklin, Delano, Delano)
Need a job? (New Deal) Try the CCC or PWA,
You a bank? (New Deal) Glass-Steagall says you cannot trade,
You farm? (New Deal) Call the AAA, get a subsidy,
Do you want a New Deal, do you? (Yeah)
Do you want a New Deal, do you? (Yeah)
Do you want a New Deal, do you? (Yeah)
'Cause Roosevelt's gonna give it to you!
'Cause Franklin, he's gonna give it to you!
'Cause FDR's gonna give it to you!
Nothing to fear but fear itself,
'Cause Roosevelt's got the watch! (Franklin, Delano, Delano)
(New Deal) 'Cause Roosevelt's got the watch
(New Deal) 'Cause Roosevelt's got the watch
'Cause Roosevelt's got the watch x 3
Hey-hey-hey-ow
"Stop! You can't do it!"
Said the courts but there's a sequel to it,
Second New Deal in '34
Economy secure,
3 million Americans employed by the WPA
Building and painting and writing what you got to say
You old? (New Deal) With Social Security retire man, (Franklin, Delano, Delano)
You fired? (New Deal) We got an unemployment plan,
Union? (New Deal) Now you can collective bargain,
You mad? (New Deal) 'Cause the government moved the invisible hand?
Chorus
(Franklin, Delano, Delano)
Still depressed? Let me tell you something,
New Deal helps you out, New Deal helps you out x 4
So let's enact it,
If the Court says no, well I'll stack it,
That, Congress ain't buying,
Can't fault a brother for trying,
The Depression ain't over,
But it gets us so much closer,
We've nothing to fear but fear itself,
'Cause Roosevelt's got the watch!
(New Deal) 'Cause Roosevelt's got the watch
(New Deal) 'Cause Roosevelt's got the watch
'Cause Roosevelt's got the watch x 3
