Thanks, Mr. Roosevelt Songtext
von George Formby

John Bull has written a message and sent it off by clipper plane today
Oh what a wonderful message, now let me tell you what it had to say

It just said "Thanks Mr. Roosevelt it′s swell of you
For the way you're helping us to carry on
You′ll see the British Empire smiling through
When these dark and stormy days are gone

And Franklyn, by the way, please convey
Our congratulations to the folks in USA
We're saying thanks Mr. Roosevelt we're proud of you
Far the way you′re helping us to carry on


Old friend you′ve never denied us
In our hearts your name Is evergreen
Your land is standing beside us
As in the days of nineteen seventeen

So we say "Thanks Mr. Roosevelt it's swell of you
For the way you′re helping us to carry on
You'll see the British Empire smiling through
When these dark and stormy days are gone

And Franklyn, by the way, please convey
Our congratulations to the folks in USA
We′re saying "Thanks Mr. Roosevelt we're proud of you
For the way you′re helping us to carry on

And Franklyn, by the way, please convey
Our congratulations to the folks in USA
We're saying, "Thanks Mr. Roosevelt, we're proud of you
For the way you′re helping us to carry on
