Lyrics
Ya'll ready? Yeah Let's Go Now here it is One to make you move Something with a funky Kung Fu groove Something that'll make you shout Make you play to the crowd And make you wanna turn it out (yeah) So homey's gather round (right round) I'll pick you up and take you on Go pound for pound Coz I'm the only man'll please ya I gotta little something that'll tease ya So throw those hands up high (come on) Shake your body Move from side to side (that's right) Coz we've just begun Party people in the place Yeah we're having fun Oh yeah I'm gonna be a big star I'm gonna lay it on and go Woo-hah Coz when the mood gets excited (come on) When everybody's Kung Fu Fighting 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 (Sing it girl) Sexy Kung Fu fighter Let me take you higher Kung Fu fighters everywhere Throw those hands in the air The time has come to turn it out Everybody let me hear you shout One two, do the Kung Fu (One two, do the Kung Fu) Say three four, on the dancefloor (three four, on the dancefloor)
