DOUBLE DIPPIN’

By Merle Hazard

Do you wanna go...double dippin'

I said...double dippin'

We head right up and then back down again

Are we gonna go...double dippin'

As our wallets take a whippin'

We'll have double dip recessions now and then

Well, it happened in the 30's and it happened in Japan

You go into an upturn, then it drops

Our country's biggest banks are where the excess all began

And bad things happen when a bubble pops

So we're gonna go...double dippin'

I said...double dippin'

We'll have double dip recessions now and then

(Instrumental)

Do you wanna go...double dippin'

I said...double dippin'

We head right up and then back down again

Yes it's...double dippin'

As our social fabric's rippin'

We'll have double dip recessions now and then
