Mr. Klaff has written around 200 songs - many of which are history songs. Here are the just some of the songs you have sung in class. Some of the songs are available for downloading - so you can cruise down Port Blvd with the top down, screaming out the lyrics to "Causes of the Civil War."

The New Deal Song

Download This Song!!!!

Relief, Recovery, and Reform

A New Deal all over the land. All those acronyms are hard to understand.
SEC, WPA, FDIC, AAA. The New Deal.

The poor eating rats, Fireside Chats
PWA, a Bank Holiday
Insurance for free, with FDIC

The New Deal had government control, Mother Nature gave us a Dust Bowl. TVA got the South out of the dark, CCC planted some trees in a park. The New Deal.

Laws signed in pen, happy days again.
Farmers kill goats, destroy all their oats. Huey Long, hates everything in this song.

The New Deal gave out a lot of money, some of the jobs people did were quite funny. Government would pay for people to write, by the Tennessee river … let there be light! The New Deal.

Wagner Act, attempted court pack.
New Dealers, angry court appealers.
There would be more, if not for a second war.

It all started in 1933, years later geasers had Social Security.
FDR’s power was stricken, when the Supreme Court quarantined sick chicken. The New Deal.

Relief. Recovery. Reform.
