Better Times With Al

(Good Times With Hoover)
A campaign song from 1928
Words and music by Irving Berlin


The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

Whether we elect a G.O.P.
Or the man who comes from Albany
We’ll remain O.K. in a business way
Looking at the future we can see

Chorus
Good times with Hoover
Better times with Al
Blue skies with Hoover
Bluer skies with Al
Prosperity does not depend
On who’s in the chair
We’re bound to have prosperity
No matter who’s there
So we’ll have good times with Hoover
Better times with Al

Chorus
Good times with Hoover
Better times with Al
Blue skies with Hoover
Bluer skies with Al
They tell us that the future
Will be rosy and bright
But they don’t have to tell us
We admit that they’re right
That we’ll have good times with Hoover
Better times with Al
