Break it up
Break it up, Sidney
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up, Sidney
Break it up
Take those two and pull ‘em apart
Be like Cupid, aim for the heart
Shoot those love birds outta the blue

[J.J., spoken]
Tear them in two

[SIDNEY]
Did you somehow miss
That this was gonna happen?
You’re crazy
Did you really try to pull one
On the all time pro?
You’re crazy
Could you tell me, please
What you thought was gonna happen?
Doin’ goodie-good goddamn deeds
For Susie and her beaux
Better be shakin’, Sidney
Take it and break it up
I mean, Susie and Dallas
How long could that last?
You’d be doin’ em’ both a favor
The break would be fast
What does it even matter?
Who does it really hurt?
By the time you wake tomorrow
This will all be past

I gotta tell ya’, friend to friend
You want the Susie thing to end right here
Break it off right here
You’re not crazy
You’re gonna hear it more and more
You’re dating her to further your career
Make it disappear

[SIDNEY & DALLAS]
You’re messin’ around with other people’s lives
Not everyone who plays that game survives

[COMPANY]
Break it up
Break it up, Sidney
Break it up
[DALLAS]
You’re never gonna...

[COMPANY & DALLAS]
Break it up
Break it up, Sidney
Break it up

[COMPANY]
Word is out you’re loosing your grip
Sad how fast a fella can slip
What’s a slipp’ry fella to do?

(spoken)

Tear them in two

[WOMEN & (MEN)]
La la la la la
(Say goodbye to it all)
La la la la la
(Say goodbye to Sidney)

[SIDNEY, spoken]
Madge!
Favor? Favor?
Can ya’ skip these into The Column?
I’ve been eatin’ cold tongue for the last two weeks
I’m loosin’ all my clients!
[MADGE, spoken]
Hop a slow boat to China, Sidney
You’re out!

[MEN & (WOMEN)]
Hey, Sidney
You’re such a clever chap
You got a like without a future
So give yourself a clap (So give yourself a clap)
And give us a slime
(Say goodbye to it all)

[DALLAS & SUSAN]
I cannot hear the city

[MEN & (WOMEN)]
Your way with the word
(Say goodbye to Sidney)

[DALLAS & SUSAN]
I cannot hear a sound

[COMPANY]
Tell us a joke we’ve already heard

[SUSAN, spoken]
Sidney! What is it?
What’s so important?

[SIDNEY]
I’m not gonna give you details blow by blow
But honey, I heard some things you need to know
Secret stuff, things he hid
Like a wife and a kid

[SUSAN, spoken]
An ex wife and a kid
She’s remarried, everybody’s happy
Sidney, I think it’s time
I’m bringing Dallas home

[SIDNEY, spoken]
Home?! No!

[J.J. & (COMPANY)]
I gave you a task
(Say goodbye to it all)
You had to come through
(Say goodbye to Sidney)
You had to make good
(Say goodbye to it all)

(spoken)

And what did you do?!
Tick, tick, tick
Time’s up!
Find yourself a cemetery!
Oh, you can’t miss the tombstone
It reads “here lies Sidney Falcone
Who was not up for the job!”

[SIDNEY]
If he thinks I’d even think of rollin’ over
He’s crazy
If he thinks I’m never gonna see the fountain flow
He’s crazy
I’ve been waitin’ too long to arrive
Not about to be takin’ a dive
When I’ve only just started coming’ alive

[COMPANY]
Break it up
Break it up, Sidney
Break it up

[SIDNEY]
Gotta find a way to

[SIDNEY & COMPANY]
Break it up

[COMPANY]
Break it up, Sidney
Break it up

[SIDNEY]
Gotta do it tonight

[MEN]
Make whatever trouble it takes
Give the mix a couple o’ shakes

[SIDNEY]
No more time for makin’ mistakes

[COMPANY]
Strike before the city awakes
Time is up and payment is due

[WOMEN]
Whatcha’ need is a rumor

[MEN]
With a pinch of a smear

[COMPANY]
Add a smidgeon of humor
Pour it in a sympathetic ear

[SIDNEY]
I don’t think I can do it

[WOMEN]
What kinda thinking is that?

[MEN]
You said this was your year

[SIDNEY]
Don’t wanna feel like a rat

[COMPANY]
Gotta push your way through it
Do it, do it

[SIDNEY]
Ooh
Once you’ve been there, it’s hard to settle for less
Ooh
I’m so close, I can smell the smell of success

[COMPANY]
Success
Do it, Sidney
Sidney, do it
Do it, do it
