Thread Name: Lyr Req: Depression Era Songs
Subject: Lyr Add; (EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE) O.K. AMERICA
The last song was found on the various-artists album "The Panic Is On: The Great American Depression as Seen by the Common Man" (2009)

The same album also contained this one (and I will probably be posting more):

(EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE) O.K. AMERICA
As recorded by Art Kassel & His Kassels in the Air (1932)

Ev'rything is gonna be OK, America; OK, America, now.
Wrap up your troubles
And throw them away.
They're only bubbles,
And you'll find that out someday.
Beyond the blue horizon,
A rainbow's peepin' through,
So just keep your eyes on
That good old red white and blue.
Say, ev'rything is gonna be OK, America; OK, America, now.

[Spoken:] Come on, let's all sing it!

Ev'rything is gonna be OK, America; OK, America now.
Wrap up your troubles
And throw them away.
They're only bubbles,
You'll find out someday.
Beyond the blue horizon,
A rainbow's peepin' through,
So just to keep your eyes on
That patch of sky that's blue.
So everything is gonna be OK, America; OK, America, now
