I love Aikido

sung to the tune 'I love Rock and Roll'

I saw him fallin' there in the Aikikai
I knew he had a real good ma-ai
The ukemi was very strong
Pract'cin' in the throng
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, pract'cin'

I love Aikido
So give me another shomen-uchi, baby
I love Aikido
So come an' do another throw with me

He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same

Said I'll attack you hanmi-handachi now

An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, pract'cin'

I love Aikido
So give me another shomen-uchi, baby
I love Aikido
So come an' do another throw with me

Said I'll attack you hanmi-handachi now

An' we'll be movin' on
An' pract'cin' in the throng
Yeah with me, pract'cin'

I love Aikido
So give me another shomen-uchi, baby
I love Aikido
So come an' do another throw with me
