Nikkyo for Nothing
by Kjartan Clausen
sung to the tune of 'Money for nothing'
Now look at them sensei's, that's the way you do it
You play with uke's in the Ai-ki-do
That ain't working, that's the way you do it.
Nikkyo for nothing and kicks for free
Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it.
Lemme tell ya, them uke's ain't dumb
Maybe get a bruise on your little forearm
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We gotta do these shomen-uchi ikkyo's
Uchikaiten kokyu-nage's
We gotta do these koshi-nage's
We gotta do these kokyu-ho's
See that little sensei with the hak' and the bokken
Yeah buddy, it's his place here
That little sensei got his own federation
That little sensei he's a shihan here
We gotta do these shomen-uchi ikkyo's
Uchikaiten kokyu-nage's
We gotta do these koshi-nage's
We gotta do these kokyu-ho's
I shoulda learned to do kote-gaesh'
I shoulda learned to do yonkyo
Look at that yudansha, she's got him pinned right down
Man, we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Tenchi-nage?
Throwing 'round them uke's like a whirlwind, he
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Get your nikkyo's for nothing and your kicks for free
We gotta do these shomen-uchi ikkyo's
Uchikaiten kokyu-nage's
We gotta do these koshi-nage's
We gotta do these kokyu-ho's, Lord
Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it
You play with uke's in the Ai-ki-do
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Nikkyo for nothing and your kicks for free
Nikkyo for nothing and kicks for free
