Kung Fu Fighting

Title : Kung-fu fighting (1974)
vocals,lyrics & music by : Carl Douglas
Produced & arranged by : Biddu

[Trivia : Watch out in this video a young, 'hippie' Biddu ( our very own Biddu Appaiah - to be precise) performing back vocals & special 'kung-fu dance'! Anyway, it's truly inspiring to watch him in action - a musician born in a small-town in south Asia and making it big in the world-stage. Big up Biddu!]

Lyrics :

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

There where 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 faint into a slip
And a kickin' from the hip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
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
The sudden motion made me skip
Now we're into a brand new trip

(Everybody was) Kung Fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing
(pause)
keep on, keep on, keep on
Sure enough

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
Make sure you have expert timing

Kung Fu fighting, has to be fast as lightning...
