Gimme a Break

You can break a promise, break a toy, Break a rack in pool; Break a tennis player’s serve And even break a rule. Break a horse to saddle up; Take a break for lunch. Break a glass (at Jewish weddings); Listen to it crunch. Break a habit, break a heart, Break your back by lifting; Break your neck and break your fast And break a line by shifting. Break up laughing, break-out stars, Break out with some zits; Break a losing streak and break Your taffy bar to bits. Break dance, break-up, break a bone; Break a record – wow! Break your train of thought, just like I’m going to do – now!
