Today we're living in a shanty
Today we're scrounging for a meal
Today I'm stealing coal for fires
Who knew I could steal?
I used to winter in the tropics
I spent my summers at the shore
I used to throw away the papers
He don't anymore
We'd like to thank you, Herbert 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
Hey, Herbie
You left behind a grateful nation (nation)
So, Herb, our hats are off to you (Herb, our hats are off)
We're up to here with admiration
Come on and have a little stew
Come down and share some Christmas dinner
Be sure to bring the missus, too
We got no turkey for our stuffing
Why don't we stuff you?
We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover (Thank you, Herbie)
For really showing us the way
You dirty rat, you bureaucrat
You made us what we are today
Come and get it, Herb
