INTRO:
After the few seconds of kung fu noise, the song starts with a single E note
played on the 9th fret of the G-string. Play the note quickly while bending to
acheive the effect. Then it's 2 lots of the verse riff before verse 1.

LYRICS:
1Kung fu, do what you do to me
I haven't been the same since my teenage lobotomy
Full on, I moved to Hong Kong
With Bruce Lee's brother and Johnny Wong
I think it's strange
He friends with Fu Manchu
And he thinks he loves you
Oh oh oh o-ohh oh
Oh Daniel-San
Made in Taiwan
C'mon Jackie Chan
Oh oh oh o-ohh
Last night Jackie Chan came came round
I played pool with him and we hung out
Mr Miyagi, the X-Men
Called in for a while as well
YEAHHHHH!
Kung fu, do what you do to me
I can't live without my kung fu movies
"Shanghai Killers" and "Deadly Road"
My live was ruined when The Green Dragon closed
(change "and he thinks he loves you" for "and he's in love with you")
End on D5
