We're the double trouble patrol.
Doubling final consonants is our goal.

We're the double trouble patrol.
Doubling final consonants is our goal.

Chorus:
When a word ends in just one consonant
And a short vowel sound comes right before it
Double that final consonant.
Double that final consonant.

Here's an example of what to do.
We're gonna spell it out for you.

T-a-p-p-i-n-g
Do you see the double "P?"
R-a-p-p-i-n-g
Do you see the double "P?"

H-o-p-p-e-d
Guess what, there's a double "P."
St-o-p-p-e-d
Oh, not again, it's a double "P."
