-chorus-
N.C. | D2
Everybody was | kung-fu fighting
| Em2
those kicks were | fast as lighting
| D2
in fact it was a | little bit frightening
| Em2
but they fought | with expert timing
| D2 | Em2
They were | funky china man, from | funky china town
| D2 | Em2
They were | chopping men up, they were | chopping men down
| D2 | Em2
It's an | ancient Chinese art and every | body knew their part
| D2 | Em2
>From a | fainting to a slip and a | kicking from the hip
-chorus-
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
-chorus-
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)
