Hey... who is he?
Who is he?
Who is that guy?
Why are you getting terrified?
What is his name, man?
Bruce Lee...
He's gonna show you the craziness
Over laziness
In every possible way
So many days he has been
Looking for a hardcore chase
Do we really think who's the man
Everybody says he is the one
With lots of
Fun and fun and fun and
Banging around like a firing gun
I am the boss, man!
Grandson of Nallamuthu, man!
To teach you a lesson now,
Look, I have arrived, man!
If I strike you in a snap,
Your jaw and cheeks will rip apart!
Bones will shatter, and with fear
He will make you tremble!
Bruce Lee...
Yeah...
Just hearing his name,
Hands and legs will shake,
Mouths will cry out,
People will scatter and run!
Ha ha haa!
Your very bones,
He will break and count them out!
He will yank out your guts,
And wear them like a garland!
L-l-like Superman,
He will fly around!
P-p-pulling the heavy chariot,
He will bring it down the street!
S-s-standing all alone,
He will put up a fight!
He is not a bad boy,
He is a very, very good...
Bruce Lee...
Saying bye to mummy,
Going off to school,
Right near the school,
Playing a game of marbles,
While playing with marbles,
Picking up a fight,
Right in the fight,
Tearing his shirt,
Getting his head cracked,
Running onto the road,
Hiding inside the house,
Standing like an innocent toddler,
"Mummy...
He is hitting me!"
I am the boss, man!
Grandson of Nallamuthu, man!
To teach you a lesson now,
Look, I have arrived, man!
Hahaha hahahaa!
Hahaha hahahaa!
Come on, face me one-on-one!
Don't stand before anyone and end up knocked out flat!
Run away, step to the side!
Instead of standing before my eyes,
Go far away!
Come, come, come, come and see!
Clash with me if you can!
Ask around the town,
Our guy is the fighting star!
Fighting star!
Fighting star!
Fighting... fighting...
Fighting... fighting...
Fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-fi...
Come on, face me one-on-one!
Don't stand before anyone and end up knocked out flat!
Run away, step to the side!
Instead of standing before my eyes,
Go far away!
Come, come, come, come and see!
Clash with me if you can!
Ask around the town,
Our guy is the fighting star!
Fighting star!
Fighting star!
Fighting... fighting
Fighting star!
Fighting... fighting
Fighting star!
Fighting... fighting
Fighting star!
I am the boss, man!
Grandson of Nallamuthu, man!
Fighting... fighting
Fighting star!
Fighting... fighting
Fighting star!
To teach you a lesson now,
Look, I have arrived, man!
Fighting... fighting
Fighting star!
Fighting... fighting
Fighting star!
