The Lyrics
The dumping people have nightmares about.
Ciao, toodle-oo, farewell, sayonara
Ciao, toodle-oo, farewell, sayonara
Ciao, toodle-oo, farewell,
Breaking up, so say "a-a-adieu"
We have to talk. It's you not me
Love for you, my dear, is sisterly
I don't know, why I'm with you
We're breakin' up, we're oh so through
Your best friend Ben
Is more my type
He's been provin' it every night
Benny knows a trick or two
Does lots of things you never do.
They say that breakin' up is hard to do
Not for me, it might be for you
Please say that we can be friends
Just try to suck it up
Don't picture me in bed with your best friend.
Your mother knew
Please tell her I'm
Thankful for her clever alibis
And yes, baby, your dad knew, too
Guess everybody knew, but you
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Not for me, maybe for you
Please say that we can be friends
Just try to suck it up
Don't picture me in bed with your best friend.
What's wrong with you?
No need to cry
Why do you look so shocked and horrified?
Come on, baby, you know it's true
Our breakin' up is overdue.
Caio, toodle-oo, farewell, sayonara
Caio, toodle-oo, farewell, sayonara
Caio, toodle-oo, farewell
Breaking up, so say "a-a-adieu"
Ciao, toodle-oo, farewell, sayonara
Ciao, toodle-oo, farewell,
Breaking up, so say "a-a-adieu"
We have to talk. It's you not me
Love for you, my dear, is sisterly
I don't know, why I'm with you
We're breakin' up, we're oh so through
Your best friend Ben
Is more my type
He's been provin' it every night
Benny knows a trick or two
Does lots of things you never do.
They say that breakin' up is hard to do
Not for me, it might be for you
Please say that we can be friends
Just try to suck it up
Don't picture me in bed with your best friend.
Your mother knew
Please tell her I'm
Thankful for her clever alibis
And yes, baby, your dad knew, too
Guess everybody knew, but you
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Not for me, maybe for you
Please say that we can be friends
Just try to suck it up
Don't picture me in bed with your best friend.
What's wrong with you?
No need to cry
Why do you look so shocked and horrified?
Come on, baby, you know it's true
Our breakin' up is overdue.
Caio, toodle-oo, farewell, sayonara
Caio, toodle-oo, farewell, sayonara
Caio, toodle-oo, farewell
Breaking up, so say "a-a-adieu"

This is a very clever and intelligent parody....it should have more votes...good job
Wow, thanks for the great compliment, Billy! Glad you liked it. :)
Good job!
Thanks Merry! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Wow. This one has me breakin' up! (Rim shot.)
Thanks Spaff!
I figure if you have discovered some of my older parodies and rated one or two, I'll return the favor. Nice job!
Thanks, Tim! Much appreciated. :)
(ABC-2005) Good parody! 5's
(ABC) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
(ABC) Wow. Simply amazing. Teriffic. Straight 5s, and then some!
Wow, thanks Pat, Jordan and Charlie! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
(ABC05) That was pretty damned funny.
Thanks Agrimorfee! Glad you enjoyed it!
(ABC-B) This parody was cruel, insensitive, and brilliant. Good job, Melhi.
Awww... thanks Scathe! :)
(ABC) Dude this was great!!!!
(ABC-B) I'm glad you broke this oldie out of your archives Melhi. Quite enjoyable.
Thanks Goat Man and Guy! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
This one flowed with ease, Melhster. And is that four languages worth of farewells in the chorus?
Thanks Luke! I think so -- and that's about all I know of those languages, too... which is pretty sad, considering that one of them is my mother tongue! ;D
(ABC-05) - brilliant stuff, Melhi - the words just flowed naturally, and some clever wordplay too - 555
Thanks Stu!
Why do I get the feeling the restaurant where I ate last night was bugged?
Michael - LOL! (Unless you weren't joking, in which case... awwww, you poor thing!) Thanks for taking a gander! :)
(ABC) Heh heh heh! Breaking US up is easy for you, Melhi!
(ABC) Can't believe I missed this first time around...oh yeah, I didn't join Amiright until '04! Fabulously witty...555
Ain't just breaking up that's hard... choosing five songs is worse. Excellent stuff, Melhi.
Thanks Johnny D., Kristof & Phil!
Excellent, well written on a topic where we've all been there! Is "Love for you, my dear, is sisterly" the equivalent of "you're more like a brother to me?"
Thanks Jeff! Yep, the words no man wants to hear (and I really like that one of yours, too, btw!)

Good one. I especially like the intro and the ending. 5-5-5 ;)
Thanks Serafina! Glad you enjoyed it!
