Great Depression
World war one just ended
Men and women are exhausted
Stock market begins its rise
Becoming the year of unwise eyes
So many things to buy that year
Toys became a bundle of joy
Cars and shoes were overproduced
They called it the roaring twenties
Middle-class men's pockets were emptied
The Stocks reached a 10-year high
Time for people to invest and buy
Sales moved faster than a cheetah
Almost eaten by a hyena
When it went to the highest peak
The next day became the day of bleak
Now everyone calls it the black Tuesday
But everyone thought it was the great doomsday
People's faces looked like death
Everyone is tired and out of breath
Now it’s just a matter of time
To make amends and everything will be fine
The year was 1933 Roosevelt was elected
Made the new deal And left Hoover neglected
The new deal became the new structure of economy
While also providing jobs for the jobless steadily
