We’d Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Annie

Annie (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[ALL]
Today we're living in a shanty
Today we're scrounging 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 paper
[ALL]
We don't anymore!
We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover
For really showing us the way
We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover
You made us what we are today
Prosperity was 'round the corner
The cozy cottage built for two
In this blue heaven
That you
Gave us
Yes, we're turning blue
They offered us Al Smith and Hoover
We paid attention and we chose
Not only did we pay attention
We paid through the nose
In ev'ry pot he said 'a chicken'
But Herbert Hoover he forgot
Not only don't we have the chicken
We ain't got the pot!
Hey Herbie
[WOMEN]
You left behind a grateful nation
[ALL]
So, Herb, our hats are off to you
We're up to here with admiration
[SOPHIE]
Come down and have a little stew
[ALL]
Come down and share some Christmas dinner
Be sure to bring the missus too
We got no turkey for our stuffing
Why don't we stuff you
We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover
(Thank you, Herbie)
For really showing us the way
You dirty rat, you Bureaucrat, you
Made us what we are today
Come and get it, Herb!
