Hey, flappers, this way, flappers
I'll floor ya with a new dance
Oh, what a new dance, hotter than hot
And it's got new tricks in it, I'm fixin' it for ya
So you can learn every new turn
Oh, here is the high spot .....

Let's do the Breakaway
Get hot and shake away
It's got the snappiest syncopation

Three times upon your heels
Oh boy, how good it feels
You get the happiest new sensation

Write a little note on your toes
Don't forget to dot the i
Look at what you wrote, goodness knows
It's easy as pie

Come on and fake away
Get hot and shake away
You'll do the Breakaway by and by
