Looking for That New Deal Now

Oh this world is a poker game

The way it's played is a doggone shame

Looking for, for the New Deal now

All the bankers I believe

Got a good hand up their sleeve

I'm looking for the New Deal now

And when the cards were dealt around

Wall Street drew the aces down

I'm looking for, for that New Deal now

And when those cards were shuffled up

The working folks they lost the pot

Yeah I'm looking for that New Deal now

Every time the cards was dealt

They bluffed Mr. Roosevelt

Randolph Hearst filled up his purse

But for the working folks things got worse

Albert Olson drew some cards

But the big land companies cleared the board

I'm looking for, for the New Deal now

Mr. Olson I expect will have to

Call for a brand new deck

I'm looking for the New Deal now

Working folks we gotta all pitch in

Play together if we want to win

I'm looking for, for the New Deal now

You gotta stick with FDR

And Albert Olson the governor

I'm looking for the New Deal now

Every time the cards was dealt

They bluffed Mr. Roosevelt

Randolph Hearst filled up his purse

But for the working folks times got worse

All I want is enough to eat

And new shoes on my children's feet

I'm looking for, for the New Deal now

A little work, a little fun

A pocketbook with spending money

Looking for, for the New Deal now

I'm looking for, for the New Deal now
