Lyrics:
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
There were funky Chinamen from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up, they were chopping them down
It’s an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip and a kicking from the hip
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening, yeah, yeah
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said: “Here comes the big boss” (Where? Where?), “Let’s get it on”
We took a bow and made a stand, started swaying with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip, now we’re into a brand new trick
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they did it with expert timing
Oh yeah
Ohohoho (Hu!)
Ohohoho (Ha!)
Ohohoho (Hu!)
Ohohoho (Ha!)
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Sure enough
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
Make sure you have expert timing
Kung fu fighting
hands and feet fast as lightning
Ohohoho (Hu!)
Ohohoho (Ha!)
Ohohoho (Hu!)
Ohohoho (Ha!)
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Yeah, yeah
Everybody was kung fu fighting
