The Breakdown Part 1

Honey, baby, I been told

You know how, shake the butter bowl

I got to see for myself

If you got any butter left

Breakdown to the left

Breakdown to the right

Breakdown to the one

Gonna love her tonight

Do the breakdown, children

Break on down

Do the breakdown, children

Break on down

You got it going, my, my, my

Just look around and grab your guy

Stop where you are, let your big hip rock

Show him how your love can rock

Breakdown for me

Breakdown for you

Breakdown to the one

Gonna give it to

Do the breakdown, children

Break on down

Do the breakdown, children

Break on down, [Incomprehensible]

Come on children, look at me

I'm showing you how it's supposed to be

Do it in the evening, late at night

I'm gonna show you, breakdown is alright

Do the breakdown, children

Break on down

Do the breakdown, children

Break on down

Listen, it's the brand new dance that's going around

It ain't the 'Funky Chicken', it's called 'The Breakdown'

It's the brand new dance that's going around

It ain't push and pull, it's called 'The Breakdown'

Now breakdown, children

Break on down

Breakdown, children

Break on down

Mama can do it, Papa too

Grandma, Grandpa, they're doing it too

Mama, Mama, just look at Sis

She's in the backyard breaking down like this

Breakdown, children

Break on down

Breakdown, children

Break on down

Breakdown, children
