Breaking Up Is Hard On You, song lyrics

Music: to the 1962 tune of "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" by Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka
Year: 1984
Genre: Comedy / Parody
Country: USA

Do do do,
Down dooby doo down down,
The deal is going down,
Dooby doo down down,
The rates are going up,
Uppy, up, up, up, up, up, up,
Breaking up is hard on you.

Don't take Ma Bell(2) away from me,
I've gotten used to monopoly,
When they divest, then I'll be blue,
Yes, breaking up is hard on you.

Remember when you make a call,
When you get through, no sweat at all,
Now we wait the whole night through,
'Cause breaking up is hard on you.

They say that breaking up is hard to do,
And so they put the screws to you,
Don't say it's fate my friend,
Including breaking up, they're jacking up the rates again.

AT&T(3) don't say goodbye,
Don't want to use no MCI(4),
You'll pay bills up the wazoo,
'Cause breaking up is hard on you.

They say that breaking up is good to do,
But then they send six bills to you,
Don't say it's fate my friend,
Including breaking up, they're also jacking up the rates again.

I beg of you don't take my phone,
I want to lease, don't want to own,
Reach up and touch some other fool,
Yes breaking up is hard on you.

Down dooby doo down down
The deal is going down,
Dooby doo down down
The rates are going up,
Uppy, up, up, up, up, up, up.
The deal is going down,
Dooby doo down down
The deal is going down,
Dooby doo down down
The rates are going up,
Uppy, up, up, up, up, up, up.
The deal is going down,
Dooby doo down down
Comma, comma, down dooby doo...

Neil Sedaka Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I'll be blue
'Cause breaking up his hard to do

Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we've been through
Breaking up is hard to do

They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true

Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again

I beg of you, don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on baby, let's start anew
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

- T Kite
