Remember when gas was 36 cents a gallon? Those were the days! 😄 I had some fun turning the rising cost of just about everything into a catchy, tongue-in-cheek song. Gas, groceries, housing, bills… at least there are two things going up that makes me smile: my retirement account and my stocks! A little nostalgia, a little humor, and an infectious sing-along hook. Hope you enjoy it! UP UP UPhttps://soundclick.com/song/15342548[Intro] Whoa-oh-wup! Up, up, up! Whoa-oh-wup! Up, up, up! [Verse] Gas was thirty-six cents a gallon Back when I was young and small Now you need a second mortgage Just to fill the tank at all [Verse ] Bread was cheap and houses cheaper Coffee cost a dime or two Everybody says the world is crazy But what else is price supposed to do? [Pre-Chorus] Look at the numbers, look at the chart Prices go up — right from the start [Chorus] Up, up, up — there it goes again Everything is higher than it’s ever been Gas, groceries, rent and stocks House keys, car keys, mailbox locks Up, up, up — what can you do? Wages go up and the paycheck too Yesterday was cheap, today’s a lot Up, up, up — like it or not! [Break] Whoa-oh-wup! Up, up, up! [Verse ] My retirement account keeps climbing At least that’s one thing I cheer My stocks go up, my bills go higher Seems to happen every year [Pre-Chorus] Look at the numbers, look at the chart Prices go up — right from the start [Chorus] Up, up, up — there it goes again Everything is higher than it’s ever been Gas, groceries, rent and stocks House keys, car keys, mailbox locks Up, up, up — what can you do? Wages go up and the paycheck too Yesterday was cheap, today’s a lot Up, up, up — like it or not! [Bridge] Governments spend, the numbers grow Debt keeps climbing — where does it go? Everybody's looking for someone to blame But change the faces, the game’s the same Slow it down — that’s all I ask Give my wallet half a chance Higher prices are here to stay They’ll never go back to yesterday [Break] Thirty-six cents… Four dollars thirty-five… Do the math, baby — That’s life! [Final Chorus] Up, up, up — there it goes again Everything is higher than it’s ever been Gas, groceries, rent and stocks House keys, car keys, mailbox locks Up, up, up — what can you do? Wages go up and the paycheck too Yesterday was cheap, today’s a lot Up, up, up — like it or not! [Outro] Whoa-oh-wup! Up, up, up! Whoa-oh-wup! Up, up, up!
