The Breaks - Kurtis Blow

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
