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

Breaks 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 Brazil

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 you deserve 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?

(Break it up, break it up)

To the girl in green, don't be so mean

(Break it up, break it up)

And the guy in red, say what I said

(Break it up, break it up)

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

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

He said his Cadilac was gold

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

But he didn't say it was ten years old

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

He took you out to the Red Coach grill

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

But he forgot the cash and you paid the bill

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And he told you the story of his life

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

But he forgot the part about...his wife!

(That's the breaks, Huh! Huh! that's the breaks)

Well, these are the breaks!

Break it up, break it up, break it up!

Break down!
