Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
From funky Chinatown
They were trapping them up
They were trapping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art
And everybody knew their part
For my friend ain't you a stiff
Then I'm kicking from the hip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billie Jim and little Sammy John
He said here comes the big boss let's get it on
We 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 kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Kung Fu fighting
