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
