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! |
