Kung Fu International |
| Outside the take-away, Saturday night |
| A bald adolescent, asks me out for a fight |
| He was no bigger than a two-penny fart |
| He was a deft exponent of the martial art |
| He gave me three warnings: |
| Trod on me toes, stuck his fingers in my eyes |
| And kicked me in the nose |
| A rabbit punch made me eyes explode |
| My head went dead, I fell in the road |
| I pleaded for mercy |
| I wriggled on the ground |
| He kicked me in the balls |
| And said something profound |
| Gave my face the millimetre tread |
| Stole me chop suey and left me for dead |
| Through rivers of blood and splintered bones |
| I crawled half a mile to the public telephone |
| Pulled the corpse out the call box, held back the bile |
| And with a broken index finger, I proceeded to dial |
| I couldn’t get an ambulance |
| The phone was screwed |
| The receiver fell in half |
| It had been kung fu’d |
| A black belt karate cop opened up the door |
| Demanding information about the stiff on the floor |
| He looked like an extra from Yang Shang Po |
| He said «What's all this then |
| Ah so, ah so, ah so.» |
| He wore a bamboo mask |
| He was gen’ned on zen |
| He finished his devotions and he beat me up again |
| Thanks to that embryonic Bruce Lee |
| I’m a shadow of the person that I used to be |
| I can’t go back to Salford |
| The cops have got me marked |
| Enter the Dragon |
| Exit Johnny Clarke |
