I looked up to you until you got the attitude

My friends looked up to me, I was a karate dude

I kick and I punch and I block and I strike, I do almost anything

But that makes me incompetent, you are the Karate King

Hurt me once more I like that

Push me down on to the mat

Gouge my eyes now I can't see

Karate King has come for me



[Chorus]



And we all say "Hey man, today!, What the hell is wrong with you?

Would you do what I say, for what I say is always true

If you can get your black belt you just might be as good as me"

God save the King, God save the King



When I first joined the school I didn't know what I was getting into, I wanted to quit

But my concience said: "Stay in, stay in!" and now I've completely had it

With this macho attitude, why the hell do you think you're so good?

Maybe you should seek some help, comon, I think you should



Pick me up then throw me down

Take a fight onto the ground

You're having fun as I can see

But I must admit you're no Bruce Lee



[Chorus]



Why must you be so dishonest?

Why must I act upon it?

Why does it get on my nerves?

And I still stay!



Punch me harder, that feels great

Kick my head, trigger my hate

My body's bruised, arm's in a sling

Go to Hell, Karate King



[Chorus]



Hey man, today!, Oh, I am done with you

I won't do what you say, what you say reflects on you

And I'll never get a black belt, in my heart, I have earned the WORLD

God Save the King.
