Price Flips

CHORUS:

We've got Prices doing Flips,

from Gas to Eggs and Beef Tips.

Got Milk but not to pass it On,

for 3.99 a gallon is long Gone.

Wonder where all the money Goes,

& my Wallet is Rip from inside the Zip,

like Houdini cashed out to go on a Trip.

We used to take Family yearly Trips,

vacation Cruises on luxurious Ships.

Booking rooms in hotels 5 Star,

Skip the lobby got a personal Bar.

but today's Economy is outside the Rule.

With Tariffs levied on Import and Export,

Like the Breeze blowing leaves from Trees,

if made in China or elsewhere over Seas.

You can bet your bottom Dollars,

from Working class to Blue Collars.

Being on a Budget has taken a Turn,

& the job is harder for a little to Earn.

Plus these days a hundred dollar Bid,

goes much faster than any 20 ever Did.

All because:
