"Here Comes FDR"

"Here Comes FDR"

 

Here he comes in his car,

He's here to tell you about the three R's.

He's here to relieve, recover, and to reform,

Oh, he's gonna give Congress a huge storm.

He's here to give you a new deal:

It's something that you wouldn't want to repeal.

There'll be two rounds,

This is what he'll give you the first time around:

The HOLC,

And the FDIC.

The AAA,

And the FCA.

The CWA,

And the PWA.

He'll give you lower mortgage rates,

He'll give you bank deposits that you'll never hate.

He'll reduce the surplus,

He'll raise your profits; he fights for us.

He'll take both routes, direct and in-direct.

He'll give you jobs for construction,

Of airports, parks, and other institutions.

Now you might think that this is a waste of time,

But I think you might find the second new deal quite sublime:

The WPA,

And the REA.

The BA,

And the RA.

The SSA,

And the PUCHA.

He'll explode the unemployment rates with jobs.

He'll electrify isolated farms to cook you some corn on the cobs.

He'll strengthen the federal reserve,

He'll give the poor and disabled what they deserve.

He'll secure your financial needs,

As well as your essential utilities.

So, don't just sit there and stare;

Don't just examine the famine,

Don't implore on the poor.

Just cheer,

Because you have nothing to fear,,

Except for fear itself....

Excellent. Too many today don't know what my parents knew about this great man.
