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)
