"This is Kung Fu" from the play in English "Marco Polo"



Here you have the lyrics of the song from the play "Marco Polo"
Copy it in your notebooks and  learn it!
This is Kung Fu
It’s a noble art
We keep our feet spread wide
We keep our legs apart

The time is getting closer
Time to prepare
We call to each other
Fight me if you dare!

CHORUS


1. Bow to your opponent. Stand proud and tall
2. Take a deep breath, try not to fall
3. Have lots of patience, you have the skill
4. This is Kung Fu

We work long and hard
We don’t take a break
We practice everyday
We do not make mistakes

We try our best
Our bodies are in pain
Our muscles are growing strong
And so are our brains



CHORUS
