"Double Crossing,"[1] referred to as "The Double Cross" on The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3: The Complete Series DVD, is a song from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episodes "Oh, Brother!" and "Crimes R Us." In the former episode, the song's instrumental can be heard on Mario's record player before Luigi tosses the record into the fireplace. In the latter episode, the song plays as the Koopalings break into the Mushroom Kingdom Treasury, only to be caught by the Mario Bros. and Crime Wave Clyde. In the Italian dub, "Burn, Baby, Burn" plays instead. The song was composed by Evan Roberts, Michael Tavera, and Joellyn Cooperman.

Lyrics[edit]

English[edit]

Double crossing!
Double trouble!
Down and dirty!
On the double!

Twice as crooked!
Twice as shifty!
Two-time swindling!
Twice as nifty!

Lie, cheat and steal!
It's an underhanded trait!
But once you get the upper hand
Dude, you've got it made!

Double crossing!
Double trouble!
Down and dirty!
On the double!

Twice as crooked!
Twice as shifty!
Two-time swindling!
Twice as nifty!

Double crossing!

Brazilian Portuguese[edit]

Brazilian Portuguese Translation

Tudo em dobro! Tudo em dobro!
Nós valemos duas vezes mais!
Mais malvados, descarados
Nós valemos duas vezes mais!

Mentir, roubar, enganar!
Pra nós é sempre urgente
O problema é que sempre tem alguém que sai na nossa frente!

Sempre honestos, mais espertos
Eles valem duas vezes mais!
E o castigo vem em dobro
Nós pagamos duas vezes mais!
Tudo em dobro!

Everything in double! Everything in double!
We're worth twice as much!
More wicked, shameless
We're worth twice as much!

Lying, stealing, cheating!
For us, it's always urgent
The problem is that there's always someone who gets ahead of us!

Always honest, smarter
They're worth twice as much!
And the punishment comes twofold
We paid twice as much!
Everything in double!
