==Lyrics==
The lyrics are largely based on Milton Ager's "Happy Days Are Here Again." It also contains lines based on lyrics featured in "About a Quarter to Nine" made famous by Al Jolson. Nile Rodgers has stated that these depression-era lyrics were used as a hidden way to comment on the then-current economic depression in the United States.〔EMP Museum, ("Happy Days Are Here Again" ), ''EMP Oral History Videos'', Category: Black History Month, Nile Rodgers interviewed June 25, 2002, Seattle, Washington〕
