Oh-hoh-hoh-hoah
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoah
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoah
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoah
Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
There 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 feigning to a slip
And a kickin' from the hip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billie Chin and little Sammy Chong
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 skip
Now we're into a brand new trip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they did it with expert timing
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh, ha
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh, ha
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-ha
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Sure enough
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
Make sure you have expert timing
Kung Fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning...
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Everybody is Kung Fu fighting (hoo! Huh!)
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening (little bit frightening)
It's the book of your life that you're writing (life that you're writing)
You're a diamond in the rough
A brilliant ball of clay
You could be a work of art (ha!)
If you just go all the way (look out)
Now what would it take to break? (Cee)
I believe that you can bend
Not only do you have to fight (hoo!)
But you have got to win
Everybody is kung fu fighting (hoo! Huh!)
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening (little bit frightening)
It's the book of your life that you're writing (life that you're writing)
You are a natural (ooh)
Why is it so hard to see? (Yeah)
Maybe it's just because (ooh)
You keep on looking at me (huh!)
The journey's a lonely one (ooh)
So much more than we know (yeah)
But sometimes you've got to go (ooh)
Go on and be your own hero
Everybody is kung fu fighting (kung fu fighting)
Your mind becomes fast as lightning (hoo! Hah!)
Although the future is a little bit frightening (little bit frightening)
It's the book of your life that you're writing (life that you're writing)
You're a diamond in the rough (ooh)
A brilliant ball of clay (yeah)
You could be a work of art (oh)
If you just go all the way (yeah)
Now what would it take to break? (Ooh)
I believe that you can bend (yeah)
Not only do you have to fight (ooh)
But you have got to win
'Cause everybody is kung fu fighting (kung fu fighting)
Your mind becomes fast as lightning (yeah, yeah)
Although the future is a little bit frightening (little bit frightening)
It's the book of your life that you're writing

每一个人都 功夫在身

[Interlude]
Wo ho ho oh~
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Our chi is what we're finding
I know it is a little bit frightening
Oh but it's so enlightening
Before the battle of the fist
Comes the battle of the mind
When you don't know who you are
Just look inside
When we move into the flow
We're always gonna win
So feel the power
And let it in
Wo ho ho oh~
Kung fu fighting
Wo ho ho oh~
What we're finding
Wo ho ho oh~
Little bit frightening
Wo ho ho oh~
So enlightening
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Hee-ya!
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Our chi is what we're finding
I know it's a little bit frightening
Oh but it's so enlightening
Before the battle of the fist
Comes the battle of the mind
When you don't know who you are
Just look inside
When we move into the flow
We're always gonna win
So feel the power that you know
Make sure you let it in
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Our chi is what we're finding
I know it's a little bit frightening
Oh but it's so enlightening
And we keep moving with the flow
If you can walk it, you can roll
Hunger for Justice
Let's make it grow
The more you try to take
The less you really have
When it comes to energy
You've got to give it back
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Our chi is what we're finding
I know it's a little bit frightening
Oh but it's so enlightening
Everybody was kung fu fighting
Our chi is what we're finding
I know it's a little bit frightening
Oh but it's so enlightening
