All the Convoluted Reasons We Pretend to be Divorced

"" is song from the episode "Tales from the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension" sung by Doofenshmirtz and Charlene about the advantages to pretending to be divorced.

Lyrics
Charlene-2: When a dictator gets deposed, And then he's thrown into the DOC... Doofenshmirtz-2: Oy vey! Charlene-2: His wife is thrown in right beside him Under key and lock. So to avoid a situation With such limited appeal... Doofenshmirtz-2: Me and Mrs. Doofenshmirtz, We struck a little deal.

Charlene-2: We told everyone around us We had split. Doofenshmirtz-2: Yes, we were through! So, if they came to haul me off, They wouldn't get her, too. Charlene-2: There's that and then there's also tax Advantages, of course. Doofenshmirtz-2 and Charlene-2: 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-2: We don't agree on restaurants Or where to holiday. Doofenshmirtz-2: But now for those activities We go our separate ways. Doofenshmirtz-2 and Charlene-2: We spend so little time together, Conversation's never forced. All the convoluted reasons We pretend to be divorced.
