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

      Am
Breakaway ha, ha breakaway
Breakaway ha, ha breakaway

Stand up boy, 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
Breakaway ha, ha breakaway
Breakaway ha, ha breakaway

Got to tear off your chains...
