rate me

<br>

[ALL]<br>

Today we're living in a shanty<br>

Today we're scrounding for a meal <br>

<br>

[SOPHIE]<br>

Today I'm stealing coal for fires<br>

Who knew i could steal? <br>

<br>

[MEN]<br>

I used to winter in the tropics <br>

<br>

[WOMEN]<br>

I spent my summers at the shore <br>

<br>

[FRED]<br>

I used to throw away the paper-- <br>

<br>

[ALL]<br>

We'd like to thank you: Herber Hoover<br>

For really showing us the way <br>

We'd like to thank you: Herbert Hoover <br>

You made us what we are today <br>

<br>

Prosperity was 'round the corner <br>

The cozy cottage built for two<br>

In this blue heaven <br>

That you<br>

Gave us <br>

Yes! <br>

<br>

We're turning blue! <br>

They offered us Al Smith and Hoover<br>

We paid attention and we chose<br>

Not only did we pay attention <br>

We paid through the nose. <br>

<br>

In ev'ry pt he said "a chicken" <br>

But Herbert Hoover he forgot <br>

Not only don't we have the chicken <br>

We ain't got the pot! <br>

Hey Herbie <br>

<br>

[WOMEN]<br>

You left behind a greatful nation<br>

<br>

[ALL]<br>

So, Herb, our hats are off to you<br>

We're up to here with admiration <br>

<br>

[SOPHIE]<br>

Come down and have a little stew <br>

<br>

[ALL]<br>

Come down and share some Christmas dinner<br>

Be sure to bring the missus too<br>

We got no turkey for our stuffing<br>

We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover <br>

For really showing us the way <br>

You dirty rat, you Bureaucrat, you<br>

Made us what we are today<br>

Come and get it, Herb!<br>
