Oh-oh-oh-oh (x4)

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

There were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were trapping them up, they were trapping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art, and everybody knew their part
For my friend, ain't you a slip, then I'm kickin' from the hip

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

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chong
He said, here comes the big boss, let's get it on
He took the bow and made a stand, started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me skip, now we're into a brandnew trip

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening, but they did it with expert timing

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening, make sure you have expert timing

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

I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where ya do what ya don't confess
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs

She's bin lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

Il était un soir 
Il était une fois 
Quelque chose et moi 
Quelque chose et moi.
Il était un soir 
Il était une fois 
Quelque chose et moi 
Quelque chose et moi.
Un signe un espoir
Une image une voix
Quelque chose et moi
Quelque chose et moi.
Et je n'étais plus seul au monde
Et je n'avais plus peur ni froid
Et je vivais chaque seconde
Et j'étais partout à la fois
Et une araignée de légende
Tisse le ciel de ma nuit
Comme je suis heureux dans ma chambre
Je ne sais pourquoi ni pour qui ?
Je vais et je viens
Mal et bien sous mon toit
Quelque chose et moi
Quelque chose et moi.
Et je n'attends rien
Ni des dieux ni des rois
Quelque chose et moi
Quelque chose et moi.
Comme un prisonnier s'émerveille
A regarder vivre une fourmi
J'ai reçu de bonnes nouvelles
Il paraît que ça va bien la vie.
J'ai envie d'ouvrir la fenêtre
Pour me voir passer dans la rue
Savoir si j'ai changé de tête
Revoir ce que je ne suis plus.
la la la la....
Et je n'étais plus seul au monde
Et je n'ai plus peur ni froid
La nuit ne sera plus très longue
Oui, je sais que tu existeras.
Il était un soir
Il était une fois
