Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
There were funky china men
From funky Chinatown
They were trapping bend up
They were trapping bend down
It's an ancient chinese art
And everybody knew their part
For my friend, ain't you a stiff
Then I'm kickin' from the hip
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billy Jim
And little Sammy John
He said, here comes the big boss
Let's get it on
He took the bow and made a stand
Started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me stiff
Now we're into a brandnew trip
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they did it with expert timing
Hoo yeah!
Ho-ho-ho-oh
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Show yeah!
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
Make sure you have expert timing
Ho-ho-ho-oh
Kung fu fighting!
Ho-ho-ho-oh
Had to be fast as lightning
Ho-ho-ho-oh
Ho-ho-ho-oh
Ho-ho-ho-oh
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Ho-ho-ho-oh
Yeah, yeah.
Ho-ho-ho-oh
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Had to be fast as lightning
