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
(That's the breaks that's the breaks)
And the IRS says they want to chat
(That's the breaks that's the breaks)
And you can't explain why you claimed your cat
(That's the breaks that's the breaks)
And Ma Bell sends you a whopping bill
(That's the breaks that's the breaks)
With eighteen phone calls to Brzil
(That's the breaks that's the breaks)
And you borrowed money from the mob
(That's the breaks that's the breaks)
And yesterday you lost your job
(That's the breaks that's the breaks)
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?
(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!



(No sé de donde saqué la letra, pero más o menos cuadra toda, que la he cuadrado.)
