When I was younger, so secure (bank bonds)
Everything was going fine (pretty swell)
I lost my crutch, things turned sour (like a grape)
Now I need a reason why (just tell me)
Just tell me why
Why'd they take my dotted line
please tell me why
Why'd they take my dotted line
They used to tell us, when I was small (so small)
Slany your H's, Monkey tails (ooh ooh ooh)
But no one does it anymore (not at all)
Why the hell'd they bother (stupid sad gits)
Just tell me why
Why'd they take my dotted line
please tell me why
Why'd they take my dotted line
(blank instrumenty bit)
Just tell me why
Why'd they take my dotted line
please tell me why
Why'd they take my dotted line
Did they end it's life?
My poor old, dotted line
Did it shag their wife?
why'd they take my dotted line?
We used to write on newsprint long ago (so long)
Now we all use College rule (too damn small)
Dotted line, i miss you (boohoohoo)
Please come back to me someday (i miss you)
I used to cry
When they took my dotted line
Now I'm resigned
To living without my...
....My dotted line
