In the dojo

by Kjartan Clausen

sung to the tune of "In the Navy" by Village People

Where can you find pleasure
Deal with randori pressure
Learn fantastic ukemi
Where can you begin to
Make your dreams all come true
On the mat or on the street
Where can you learn to fly
Do irimis and tenkans
Study how to atemi
Sign up for Aikido
And learn it in the dojo
When you train and others meet

In the dojo
Yes, you can do the kokyu-ho
In the dojo
Yes, you can also others throw
In the dojo
We're not sure where you're gonna land
In the dojo, in the dojo
Just you grab that sensei's hand
In the dojo
He'll on your toes make you stand
In the dojo
Come on and join your fellow man
In the dojo
Come on in and learn how to blend
In the dojo, in the dojo, in the dojo (in the dojo)

They want you, they want you
They want to beat you black and blue.

If you like adventure
Don't you wait to enter
The Aikido dojo fast
Don't you hesitate
There is no need to wait
They're signing up new students fast

Maybe you are too young
To join up today
But don't you worry 'bout a thing
For I'm sure there will be
Always a good dojo
Where you can practice see.

In the dojo
Yes, you can do the kokyu-ho
In the dojo
Yes, you can also others throw
In the dojo
We're not sure where you're gonna land
In the dojo, in the dojo
Just you grab that sensei's hand
In the dojo
He'll on your toes make you stand
In the dojo
Come on and join your fellow man
In the dojo
Come on in and learn how to blend
In the dojo, in the dojo, in the dojo (in the dojo)

They want you, they want you
They want to beat you black and blue.

Who me?

They want you, they want you
They want to beat you black and blue.

But, but but I'm afraid of falling.
Hey, hey look Man, I get nervous even watchin' it on TV!

They want you, they want you in the dojo

Oh my goodness.
How am I ever going to learn this?

They want you, they want you in the dojo
