This is what Mr. Vargish does to people.
A Whole New Deal
Sung (rather creatively) to the tune of "A Whole New World" from Aladdin
Verse 1:
FDR made the world
better after the crash.
FERA quickly gave cash so counties could increase demand.
PWA gave jobs,
but its functions gave way
to the WPA which made more jobs as had been planned.
A whole New Deal:
Sixteen new agencies to see
Like the FLSA
increased workers' pay
and kept kids out of every factory...
Verse 2:
The CCC came next,
sending boys to the country,
planting more than just one tree, they built parks and bridges, too.
The NYA also helped
by giving jobs part-time,
keeping students from crime, so graduation rates grew.
A whole New Deal --
agencies like the IRA
repealed the Dawes Act,
gave Indians their culture back,
and even let the Indians have a say...
Verse 3:
Farmers loved FDR
for the Ag Adjustment Act.
The government made a pact to pay some farmers not to farm.
The FCA was big, too,
Giving farmers loans cheap.
REA took a leap, electrifying withut harm.
A whole New Deal
made lots of homeowners happy.
They got cheap loans as well,
and that was swell,
all thanks to the HOLC...
Verse 4:
FDIC ensured
deposit safety in banks.
Businessmen all gave thanks when NLRB made strikes cease.
PUHA set precedent,
watching utilities closely.
The radical TVA mostly made employment and power increase.
A whole New Deal!
Last but not least, the SEC
helped police Wall Street --
no mean feat --
and kept the market safe for you and me.
