Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

They were funky China men

From funky Chinatown

They were chopping them up

They were chopping them down

It's an ancient Chinese art

And everybody knew their part

From a feint into a slip

And kicking from the hip

[Chorus]

Everybody was kung fu fighting (Huh)

Those kicks were fast as lightning

In fact, it was a little bit frightening

Hey, yeah

But they fought with expert timing

[Verse 2]

There was funky Billy Chin

And little Sammy Chung

He said, "Here comes the big boss (Where? Where?)

Let's get it on"

He took the bow and made a stand

Started swinging with the hand

A sudden motion made me skip

Now we're into a brand new trip

[Chorus]

Everybody was kung fu fighting (Huh)

Those kicks were fast as lightning (Ha)

In fact, it was a little bit frightening (Huh)

But they did it with expert timing (Ha)

Oh, yeah

[Refrain]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ha

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Sure enough

[Chorus]

Everybody was kung fu fighting (Huh)

Those kicks were fast as lightning (Ha)

In fact, it was a little bit frightening (Huh)

Make sure you have expert timing, Lord (Ha)

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Kung fu fighting

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Hands and feet fast as lightning

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Huh, ha)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Huh, ha)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Huh, ha)

Keep on, keep on, keep on

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Huh, ha)

Yeah, yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Everybody was kung fu fighting (Ha)

Hands and feet fast as lightning (Ha)

Oh-oh-oh-oh
