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
