Head, Chest, Knee

Lyrics by Caius Auklandus and Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova

(To the Tune of: Do, Re, Me from The Sound of Music)

Let’s start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A, B, C
When you fight you begin with head, chest, knee (head, chest, knee)
Head, chest, knee – the first three blows just happen to be
Head, chest, knee (head, chest, knee)
Head, chest, knee, block, fake, snap, wrap, head
Head, the blow that knocks them out
Chest, the one that rarely works
Knee, be sure you strike above
Block, it makes ‘em feel like jerks
Fake, a move to win the fight
Snap, it often kills them dead
Wrap, throw this with all your might
That will bring us back to Head
(When you know the blows to swing, you can kill most anything)
