[joan]
it’s not that he’s hit the slumps

[d+ck, spoken]
no?

[joan]
or fallen into the dumps

[ruby, spoken]
no?
[d+ck]
does he have the heebie+jeebies?

[ruby]
or the jitters?

[lucky]
or the dooms?

[joan, spoken]
no, but you’re close

[d+ck, ruby, & lucky]
well, what does he have?

[hennesey, spoken]
yeah, what do i have?

[joan, spoken]
the glooms!

[d+ck, ruby, & lucky, spoken]
the glooms?

[joan, spoken]
yeah… oh, they’re very common today
(sung)
there’s the empty+pocket glooms
the empty cupboard glooms
the strike line glooms
the domestic glooms
the foreign glooms
the mеn, women and little children glooms—
[hennesey, spoken]
stop!

[joan]
i know how to makе them disappear!

[ruby & d+ck, spoken]
how?

[joan]
it’s my own idea, a new panacea—
sweep your glooms away with a song!

[ruby, d+ck, lucky, & hennesey, spoken]
a song?

[joan, spoken]
yeah! like this:
(sung)
aah!
look down on us, saint peter
from your golden throne in the sky
aah!
listen to us, saint peter!
we’ll never, never, never—
(spoken)
we’ll, you gotta have faith, kids!

[all]
oh, we’ll never, never, never—

[joan]
believe! believe!

[all]
no, we’ll never, never, never say “die”!

[joan]
go look for the gold mine
that comes with the sunshine
with diamonds strung up on each day
a treasure each day of the year
good times are here to stay!

escape from those doldrums
by beating those bold drums
we’re here in this fracas to stay
plunge into the battle
i’ll hand you a spear!
good times are here to stay!

no need to be tearful
our leaders are cheerful
about the bright future we’ve got
(spoken)
now, listen to this!
(sung)
each meal will be classy
for each lad and lassie
with a chicken in every pot

why fuss about money
when outside it’s sunny
and kiddies are singin’ at play?
just toss them some coins as you shout, “santa’s here!”
good times are here to stay!

just wait ’til the rain goes
to follow those rainbows
climb out of that wet, muddy clay
you’ll find out that living’s a thing of good cheer
good times are here to stay!

when doubts of tomorrow
bring worry and sorrow
that haunt you when you hit the hay
imagine a pixie who says in your ear

[ruby, spoken]
every day in every way you’re getting better and better!

[all]
good times are here to stay!
don’t sputter with curses
when hitting reverses
and getting that big cut in pay

[joan]
stop acting the mourner
get out of that corner
and smile the american way

[all]
hooray!

[joan]
when you hear the thunder
don’t cry and go under
it’s jupiter having his day
just holler up to him and yell in his ear
“santa is here!”

[ruby]
give a big cheer!

[all]
good times are here to stay!

[lucky]
so, hand me a spear!

[d+ck]
the millennium’s here!

[all]
good times are here to stay, hey!

[hennesey, spoken]
the only thing we have to fear is fear itself!

[loud explosion offstage.]

[all]
today! for good times are here to—

[the scenery shakes.]

good times are here to—

[loud noises.]

good times are here to stay!
