Come home from work 
See my girlfriend crying 
She can’t get on face book 
And whole day she trying 

Well I try to fix the computer 
To get she on the internet 
The girl cries so much 
Two handkerchiefs soaking wet 

What’s up with face book? 
Sending this girl crazy 
Chatting with Amanda whole day 
And now she gets so lazy 

So I call her mother 
To complain bout she daughter 
She said she call back later 
Julie on the computer 

So went to her father 
And said she don’t cook no more 
She on face book since morning 
Till I come home at four 

He call me out side 
He hiding from his wife 
He said leave face book alone 
That is part of them women’s life 

The stove not light for the day 
All it has is bread and cheese 
She says darling I’m hungry 
Go order some Chinese 

This face book and women 
Is a bad combination 
It causing problems in homes 
All across the nation 

A woman updating she profile 
From almost all about 
When she quarrel with her husband 
She leaving that part out 

hannah taking out pix for face book 
She runs out of lipstick 
She takes two buses and a taxi 
Telling the driver to do quick 

So I call president Obama 
Tell him face book causing hell 
He said boy shut your mouth 
He wants no problem from Michelle 

Now face book is OK 
To meet family old and new 
But do people have to post 
Every little thing they do 

A man post he on vacation 
On the beach in Tobago 
While he home in couva 
But nobody don’t know 

I try to organize some friends 
To protest against face book 
When I gone them on the computer 
These men already hook 

So I have to stay quiet 
Because my girlfriend very sweet 
I pick up the phone and said 
Darling what you want to eat
