Clap your hands, everybody
|
If you got what it takes
|
'Cause I'm Kurtis Blow and I want you to know
|
That these are the breaks
|
|
Breakes on a bus, brakes on a car
|
Breaks to make you a superstar
|
Breaks to win and breaks to lose
|
But these here breaks will rock your shoes
|
And these are the breaks
|
Break it up, break it up, break it up!
|
|
If your woman steps out with another man
|
(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)
|
And she runs off with him to Japan
|
And the IRS says they want to chat
|
And you can't explain why you claimed your cat
|
And Ma Bell sends you a whopping bill
|
With eighteen phone calls to Brzil
|
And you borrowed money from the mob
|
And yesterday you lost your job
|
Well, these are the breaks
|
Break it up, break it up, break it up
|
|
Throw your hands up in the sky
|
And wave 'em 'round from side to side
|
And if youdeserve a break tonight
|
Somebody say alright!
|
(All right) Say ho-oo!
|
(Ho-oo!) And you don't stop
|
Keep on, somebody scream!
|
(Owwwww!) Break down!
|
|
Breaks on a stage, breaks on a screen
|
Breaks to make your wallet lean
|
Breaks run cold and breaks run hot
|
Some folks got 'em and some have not
|
But these are the breaks
|
Break it up, break it up, break it up!
|
Break down!
|
|
To the girl in brown, stop messing around
|
(Break it up, break it up)
|
To the guy in blue, whatcha gonna do?
|
To the girl in green, don't be so mean
|
And the guy in red, say what I said
|
Break down!
|
|
Brakes on a plane, brakes on a train
|
Breaks to make you go insane
|
Breaks in love, breaks in war
|
But we got the breaks to get you on the floor
|
And these are the breaks
|
Break it up, break it up, break it up!
|
Break down! Yo!
|
|
Just do it, just do it, just do it, do it, do it!
|
Just do it, just do it, just do it, do it, do it!
|
Just do it, just do it, just do it, do it, do it!
|
Just do it, just do it, just do it, do it, do it!
|
|
You say last week you met the perfect guy
|
(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)
|
And he promised you the stars in the sky
|
He said his Cadilac was gold
|
But he didn't say it was ten years old
|
He tok you out to the Red Coach grill
|
But he forgot the cash and you paid the bill
|
And he told you the story of his life
|
But he forgot the part about...his wife! Huh! Huh!
|
Well, these are the breaks!
|
Break it up, break it up, break it up!
|
Break down!
