Buzz Ballad: It's Beginning to Look Like a Recession

—apologies to Meredith Wilson and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”

It’s beginning to look like a recession
Everywhere you go
Take a good look at the home sales
Mortgage applicants fail
To qualify though interest rates are low
It’s beginning to look like a recession
High-priced energy
But the best indicator you’ll see
Is now living frugally
Off of your EBT

Your employer cut hours ’cause Obamacare lowers
And he’d rather pay the fine
You’ve cut luxuries like going to movies
Or taking the family to dine
And if you lose your job you can’t find another
Though it’s not for lack of tryin’

It’s beginning to look like a recession
The Dow’s begun to tank
But please spare me all your tears
If you voted for four more years
You’ve yourself to thank
