Lyrics

An open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
An open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
The last time I saw Peter, he'd been to the Orient
He was doing a Wushu, and he showed me some of it
He did the Praying Mantis, and he told a phone to me
A little over ten, he showed me some Tai Chi
An open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
An open invitation to turn you on
Tai Chi is very fricte, Tai Chi is very slow
Tai Chi can make you healthy and sexier, you know
And picking up the double-edged sword, Peter lept into the air
Then he did the split and butterfly kick whilst he's suspended there
An open invitation, hey, to Tai Chi Quan
This is an open invitation, hey, to turn you on
Jewel of the universe, flat hand fight
Treasure of the universe, test your fight
Hey, open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
An open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
My spirit was willing, but my legs were weak
But Peter told me, "Just go every week"
And soon it was months and now it's been years
And I'm a Tai Chi man, and my mind is very clear
An open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
Hey-hey, it's an open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
Jewel of the universe, flat hand fight
Treasure of the universe, test your fight, hey
Open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
An open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
Peter got married two weeks ago today
The guys from his school were gathered around him
And when they posed for pictures, he called out and pointed at me
"Hey, he's a Wushu man, and he does his Tai Chi"
Jewel of the universe, flat hand fight
Treasure of the universe, test your fight
Open invitation to Tai Chi Quan
See, it's an open invitation to turn you on
I'll tell you, there's nothing I wouldn't do to get some of that good kung fu
There's nothing I wouldn't do, oh, to get some of that good kung fu
It's an open invitation, baby to Tai Chi Quan
Oh, yeah, an open invitation, baby, oh, to turn you on
An open invitation to Tai Chi Quan, hey
