Papa said: don't go to discos.
Mama said: don't play with boys.
Sister said: stop all romancing.
Brother said: stop all your noise.

Breakaway aa-haa breakaway.
Breakaway aa-haa breakaway.

Papa said ain't working harder
better stay and work through the night.
Come over here and sit in my lap now.
Get a rise, if you do what is right.

Breakaway aa-haa breakaway.
Breakaway aa-haa breakaway.

Got to tear off your chains. Pull up your roots.

Pack up your money and put on back your boots and breakawaa-aa-aay
      Am
Breakaway aa-haa breakaway.

Stand up girl, down at the disco.
Say I like you, will you dance on with me.
Say I love you, you're the girl I've been wanting.
Maybe some day you can marry me.
