Doo doo doo down
Doobie doo down down
The deal is going down
Doobie doo down down
The rates are going up
Uppy up up up
Breaking up is hard on you

Don't take Ma Bell 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'd make a call
And you'd 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 also jacking up the rates again

A T & T, don't say goodbye
Don't wanna use no MCI
You'll pay bills out 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 out and touch some other fool
Yes, breaking up is hard on you

The deal is going down
Doobie doo down down
The rates are going
Up uppy up up up

(Hello) yeah, hello John, listen
(Hello) hello (what) John
(I can't hear you) well, I
(I hear myself coming back here)
Damn phone company
(Hello) what (hello)

The deal is going down
Doobie doo down down
The rates are going up
Uppy up up up
