Breaking Up is Hard To Do (Depart en vacances pres. difficile)

[Barry Mitchell, mildly Pattonesque swaying before a swaying Canadian flag]
Down doobie doo down down.
I hope they vote it down doobie doo down down. 
The referendum, down doobie doo down down. 
Breaking up is hard to do.

Oh way up north, they're a wreck.
'Cause Canadians may lose Quebec.
Will they stay, or split in two? and breaking up is hard to do.

The separatists are in the trench. 
Now they're fighting to preserve things French.
See them wave the white and blue.Yes, breaking up is hard to do.

The push for breaking up is nothing new.
They tried once, it didn't go through. 
Too bad for Jean Chretien, 
'Cause if at first they don't secede, you know they'll try and try again.

It's cold out there. Don't press your luck.
Hey Quebec, don't be a hockey puck.
What would Dudley Do-Right do? 'Cause breaking up is hard to do.

Today in Montreal they're all out in force
Some say Oui," some say "Non," to divorce.
It's one more Canadian split. 
Just like when Kevin stayed with us and Thalia Assuras quit.

When Russia left the Soviet, things got bad and they're not better yet.
Don't they even have a clue, that break...ing...up...is...hard... to...
[a bar or two of "O Canada" ending with flourish...]
