Well, i ain't very big for twentyone | |
And it seems i never could have any good clean fun | |
Cause every time i'd go outside some great big bully'd come along | |
He'd hit me in the face and he'd knock to the ground | |
And he'd start kickin' me all around | |
And that ain't exactly fair, friends, that's wrong. | |
So i got me a paper the other night | |
And i crawled up on the sofa and i turned on the light | |
And flipped through the pages till i found the classified ads. | |
Said, "take karate from lee hung chow; | |
Man, make your first appointment now | |
This course is guaranteed to make you bad." | |
Well, the next day i drove to the address | |
By japanese design i was really impressed | |
It looked like a regular house of the rising sun. | |
I walked inside, i was all alone | |
I had a nervous feeling down in my bones | |
I was kind of sorry i'd ever even come. | |
Then a giant jap came through the door | |
He must have been about seven foot four | |
And he looked like he's prone to easy aggrevation. | |
He said, "lee hung chow, ah kee dung" | |
That's japanese for fee fie foo fum | |
I tried to explain my entire situation. | |
He said, "number one course, yankee, self defence, | |
Twohundred dollars and twentyfive cents"; | |
I said "what's the twentyfive cents for?" and he said, "repairs." | |
I said, "repairs to what?", and he said "to you" | |
And i thought to myself "man, that won't do" | |
Felt about a half inch tall under that ol' slender stare | |
Ah, you think he was yellow... | |
I said, "i believe i better go check another place" | |
He said, "ha so, yankee don't like my race" | |
I said, "now, there's a mistake, man, and that's true; | |
I've been for you you japanese all along | |
You japanese just can't do no wrong | |
And i thought you got mighty dirty deal in world war ii." | |
Well, he grabbed me by the hand and gave a heave | |
I figured there's a pretty good time to leave | |
Before he had a chance to do me any definite harm. | |
But my plan worked out in the end, you see, | |
Now no bully is gonna pick on me | |
Who's gonna hit a fellow with just one arm? |
