Lyrics[]
Charlene: When a dictator gets deposed,
And then he's thrown into the DOC
Doofenshmirtz: Oy vey!
Charlene: His wife is thrown in right beside him
Under key and lock
So, to avoid a situation
With such limited appeal...
Doofenshmirtz: Me and Mrs. Doofenshmirtz we struck a little deal
Charlene: We told everyone around us We had split
Doofenshmirtz: Yes, we were through!
So, if they came to haul me off, they wouldn't get her, too
Charlene: There's that and then there's also tax advantages, of course
Doofenshmirtz and Charlene: All the convoluted reasons We pretend to be divorced
We get double the amount of discount coupons in the mail
We have twice the junk to offer in our annual yard sale
We each have our separate bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, and dens,
We see each other all the time but through a telescopic lens
Charlene: We don't agree on restaurants or where to holiday
Doofenshmirtz: But now for those activities, we go our separate ways
Doofenshmirtz and Charlene: We spend so little time together, Conversation's never forced
All the convoluted reasons we pretend to be divorced
