Happy Days are here again

As a history buff,I am stuck by the similarity of NaMo’s slogan of “Achee Din Aane Wale Hain” to the “Happy Days are here again” slogan used by FDR when he ran for President in the US in 1932 .

Below are the lyrics of this song:

So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let’s sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

Altogether shout it now
There’s no one
Who can doubt it now
So let’s tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone
There’ll be no more from now on
From now on…

Happy days are here again
The skies above are here again
So, let’s sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!
