D Em7
Oh-oh-oh- oh, oh-oh-oh- oh...
Chorus
D Em7
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those cats were fast as lightning
D Em7
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning, but they fought with expert timing
D Em7
There was funky China men from funky Chinatown
D Em7
They were cutting bricks up, they were chopping them down
D Em7
It's an ancient Chinese art, and every body knew their part
D A7
For my friend, if you don't flip, then I'm kickin' from the hip
Chorus
There was funky Billie Jim and little Sammy John
He said, here comes the big boss, let's get it on
We took the bow and made a stand, started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me stiff, now we're into a brandnew trip
Chorus
Bm Em
Oh-oh-oh- oh, oh-oh-oh- oh...
Chorus
Kung Fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning...
