I said   "Hold up"   "Wait a minute"   After School Special   Goin' deep up in it      With a brand new jam   a brand new song   with a funky-ass beat   it's called The Breakdown      From the bassline   drumline   guitar riff   This song is the bomb   A brand new hit      tear the roof off the mother   and bring the house down   with this funky-ass jam   It's called the Breakdown      CHORUS:      Oh Baby can't you see?   We're gonna break it down   we're gonna break it down   Pretty Lady come with me   So we can break it down      VERSE 2:      I said engine engine number nine   On that Shytown transit line   If that train jumps off the tracks   Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up   Put it back on line   keep it on time   Put it in your tape deck   Press rewind      Like the hit from a shell   Of a battle ship   As the funky-ass break down   starts to rip!      CHORUS:      Oh Baby can't you see?   We're gonna break it down   we're gonna break it down   Pretty Lady come with me   So we can break it down
