there's always a party
always someone new
and they're dressed to the nines
and they're looking at yo-ou
and you're laughing and drinking
and knocking back wine
dump your boyfriend at Christmas
and have a good time

Chorus: dump your boyfriend
dump your boyfriend
he ain't doing nothing for you
dump your boyfriend
dump your boyfriend
don't spend your whole life feeling blue

don't wait for the new year
you know what to do
don't wait for the angel
to tell it to you
don't wait for the new guy
don't wait one more day
dump your boyfriend at Christmas
you know what to say

you can do it at a party
no need to obsess
I know it sounds harsh
but it's all for the best
it's coming up new year's
and when it begins
you don't want to stand there
at midnight with him

Chorus:
dump your boyfriend
dump your boyfriend
he ain't doing nothing for you
dump your boyfriend
dump your boyfriend
don't spend your whole life feeling blue

Bridge:
you used to love him
but that didn't last
and sure you had good times
but that's in the past …….
won't be his best Christmas
but when it's all through
the odds are he'll find himself
somebody new…

your boyfriend's got excuses
and they just never end
how he's got no job and
no plans and no friends
he coulda been someone
if he'd just had a chance
it's smelling like something
and it sure ain't romance

so put on your good shoes
and dance through the door
you don't have to put up
with that boy no more
it don't take much thinking
just cozy up tight
with the first handsome fella
catches your eye tonight

Chorus:
dump your boyfriend
dump your boyfriend
he ain't doing nothing for you
dump your boyfriend
dump your boyfriend
(your friends know it's long overdue)
don't spend your whole life feeling blue
