Tenkan

Sung to the tune "Time Warp"

Riff Raff:
It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Aikido takes it's toll.
But look on closely...
Magenta:
Not for very much longer.
Riff Raff: I've got to keep control.
I remember doing the Tenkan
Drinking those moments when
The atemi hit me.
Riff & Magenta: And a mat would be calling...
Transylvanians:
Let's do the Tenkan again.
Let's do the Tenkan again.
Narrator: It's just a jump off the line.
Transylvanians: By a step to the right.
Narrator: With your hands on your hips
Transylvanians: You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic twist
That really drives you round.
Let's do the Tenkan again.
Let's do the Tenkan again.
Magenta: It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me.
So you can't hit me?
No, not at all.
It's another dimension,
with a harmonic intention,
Well secluded,
I see all.
Riff Raff: With a bit of a hand flip
Magenta: You'll down to the mat slip
Riff Raff: And nothing can ever be the same.
Magenta: You're pinned down on sensation.
Riff Raff: Like you're under sedation.
Transylvanians: Let's do the Tenkan again.
Let's do the Tenkan again.
Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street just having a think
When this snake of a guy gave me an Aiki wink.
He shook me up, he took me by surprise.
He had a hakama, and the dojo eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change.
TKD meant nothing, never would again.
Narrator: It's just a jump off the line.
Transylvanians: By a step to the right.
Narrator: With your hands on your hips
Transylvanians: You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic twist
That really drives you round.
Let's do the Tenkan again.
Let's do the Tenkan again.
Narrator: It's just a jump off the line.
