We'd Like To Thank You Lyrics - Annie

[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 paper-- 

[ALL] 

He don't anymore 

We'd like to thank you: Herber 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 greatful 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 

How bout we stuff you 

We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover 

For really showing us the way 

You dirty rat, you Bureaucrat, you 

Made us what we are today 

Come and get it, Herb!
