Annie
Everything's humming now
Annie
Annie
Good times are coming now
It's Christmas, Christmas everyday
We dismiss
Bad times, sad times
Now they're all yesterday news
Since Annie kicked out the blues
Annie

Look what you've done for us
Annie

Turned on the sun for us
Grace:
Have they sent the cheese?

Yes and ice camemberts and bries

You filled our life with a song
The song "Annie" by Sandy Faison is a joyful tribute to the titular character, who has brought happiness and hope to the lives of the other characters. The opening lines, repeated three times by the chorus of servants, capture the sense of excitement and anticipation that Annie's arrival has sparked: "Annie, Annie, Annie, everything's humming now / Annie, Annie, good times are coming now / Since you came our way, it's Christmas, Christmas everyday." The metaphor of Christmas (a time associated with warmth, generosity, and togetherness) suggests that the characters feel that their lives have been transformed by Annie's presence. The fact that bad times and sad times are now "yesterday news" emphasizes the idea that Annie has brought a sense of renewal and lightness to those around her.
The second verse features a brief exchange between the characters Grace and Drake, who are discussing the preparations for a cheese plate. This is an example of the whimsical, slice-of-life moments that are woven into the song, creating a sense of camaraderie and domesticity. The verse concludes with the same chorus as before, with the added line, "Annie, Annie, you filled our life with a song." This phrase encapsulates the theme of the song: that Annie has not only improved the characters' external circumstances, but has also lifted their spirits and given them a reason to celebrate.
