One hit wonder with two chord.  I suggest you play the
intro only in position V & VII then the entire song in
position X & XII. Chords are played with the traditional
disco rythm.  Hard on the wrist.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting  (spoken - huh!)
those kicks were fast as lighting
in fact it was a little bit frightening  (spoken -yeah, yeah)
but they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chen and little Sammy Chong
He said, here comes the big boss! (spoken -Where?) lets  get it on
We took them all and made a stand, started swaying with the hands
Sudden motion made me skip, now were into a brand new trick

-chorous-
Everybody was kung-fu fighting  (spoken - huh!)
those kicks were fast as lighting (spoken -hah!)
in fact it was a little bit frightening  (spoken -huh!)
but they fought with expert timing (spoken -hah!)

oh whoa...... (spoken -hah!) oh whoa...... (spoken -hah!)
oh whoa...... (spoken -huh!) oh whoa...... (spoken -hah!)
(this is continued through final verse, fades out)

Kung-fu fighting,  It's as fast as lighting (repeat then fade out)

Yeah I know, two chords. If you think there are more chords for this
far out and groovy tune please feel free to contact me.
