Annie: A New Musical 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

SOUNDTRACK LYRICS

Annie

All (Servants):
Annie
Annie
Annie
Everything's humming now
Annie
Annie
Good times are coming now
Since you came our way
It's Christmas, Christmas everyday
We dismiss
Bad times, sad times
Now they're all yesterday news
Since Annie kicked out the blues

Annie
Annie
Annie
Look what you've done for us
Annie
Annie
Annie
Turned on the sun for us

Grace:

Warbucks and Annie:
Together at last!
Together for ever!
We're tying a knot,
They never can sever!

Warbucks:
I don't need sunshine now,
To turn my skies at blue

Warbucks and Annie:
I don't need anything but you!

Warbucks:
You've wrapped me around
That cute little finger.
You've made life a song,
You've made me the singer!

Annie:
And what's the bathtub tune
You always "Bu-Bu-Boo?"

Warbucks:

Warbucks:
I've made me a fortune
That fortune made ten
Been headlined
And profiled
Again and again
But something was missing
I never quite knew
That something was someone but who?

My speeches are greeted
With thunderous acclaim
At two universities
Bearing my name
Yes, something was missing
Each time i got through
That something was someone but who?

Who could that someone be?

Annie:
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
Till there's none!

When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!

Ikes:
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow

Healy:
Hey, hobo man
Hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Your clothes may be
Beau Brummelly
They stand out a mile,
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Who cares what they're wearing
On Main Street,
Or Saville Row,
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters!

So, Senator,

Grace:
If he should need the F.B.I.
Then he will have the F.B.I.

All:
With all the favors that he's done
J. Edger Hoover owes him one.

Cecille and Annette:
And then the midnight oil gets burned
'Till not a stone is left unturned

All:
He will search everywhere
And he'll find them, I swear.

Grace:
Oh, you won't be an orphan for long!

All:
Where other men would call it quits
And disappear

Rooster:
I remember the way
Our sainted mother
Would sit and croon us
Her lullaby

Miss Hannigan:
She'd say, kids, there's a place
That's like no other
You got to get there before you die

Rooster:
You don't get there
By playing from the rule book

Hannigan:
You stack the aces

Rooster:
You load the dice

Hannigan and Rooster:
Mother dear
Oh, we know you're down there listening,

Grace(spoken):
Annie you are our guest for Christmas, and for the next two weeks you're
going to have a swell time!
(sung)
Cecille will pick out all your clothes

Cecille (spoken):
Green is her best color, no blue I think.

Grace:
Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer.

Greer (spoken):
Saop...no, bubbles, I think.

Grace:
Annette comes in to make your bed.

Annette (spoken):

Miss Hannigan:
Little girls
Little girls
Everywhere I turn
I can see them
Little girls
Little girls
Night and day
I eat, sleep and breathe them

I'm an ordinary woman
With feelings
I'd like a man to nibble on my ear
But I admit no man has bit
So how come I'm the mother of the year?

Little cheeks
Little teeth
Everything around me is little
If I wring
Little necks
Surely I will get an acquittal

All:
Today we're living in a shanty
Today we're scrounding for a meal

Sophie:
Today I'm stealing coal for fires
Who knew I could steal?

Men:
I used to winter in the tropics

Women:
I spent my summers at the shore

Fred:
I used to throw away the papers

All:
he dont any more
We'd like to thank you: Herbert Hoover
For really showing us the way
We'd like to thank you: Herbert Hoover

Orphans:
It's the hard-knock life for us!
It's the hard-knock life for us!

Annie:
'Steada treated,

Orphans:
We get tricked!

Annie:
'Steada kisses,

Orphans:
We get kicked!

All:
It's the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so,
It's the hard-knock row we how!

Annie:
Cotton blankets,

Orphans:
'Steada of wool!

Annie:
Empty Bellies

Orphans:
'Steada of full!

All:

Annie:
Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straight'ning this tie!

Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano,
He's sitting paying a bill!

Betcha they're young
Betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays, and art!

Betcha they're good
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake
Was giving up me!

Dumb dog,
Why are you following me?
I ain't got a crumb dog,
How about lettin' me be?
I ain't gon-na feed you,
Ain't got a scrap for you.
Need you?
Don't give a crap for you.
Dumb dog dumb-er than they come dog.
You're the most presumin' dog
That a human could know.
