Honey baby, I been told
You know how to move your body bold
I got to see for myself
If you've got anybody else

Breakdown to me
Breakdown to you
Breakdown to the one
You're gonna give it to

Do the breakdown, children
Break on down
Do the breakdown, children
Break on down

You've got it cold, my my my
Stop where you are and grab your guy
Just look around, you know you ought
To give him all the love you've got

Breakdown to the East
Breakdown to the West
Breakdown to the one
Gonna love you the best

Do the breakdown, children
Break on down
Do the breakdown, children
Break on down
There's a brand new dance that's goin' around
It's not the Funky Chicken
Said it's called the Breakdown
I said come here, mama
Won't you look at Sis
She's in the backyard
Breakin' down like this

Breakdown to the left
Breakdown to the right
Breakdown to the one
Gonna love you tonight

Do the breakdown, children
Break on down
Do the breakdown, children
Break on down

Do the breakdown, children
Break on down
Do the breakdown, children
Break on down

Break on down
