The Bearded Ninja (Chuck Norris) | Military Cadence

I see the bearded ninja

Alone upon the hill

His name is Chuck Norris

And kill I know he will

Chuck Norris

(Chuck, chuck, chuck he’s the man!)

Round house kick!

 

No, Chuck is not a surgeon

But he knows some tricks

The quickest way to a man’s heart

Is with Chuck Norris’ fists

Chuck Norris

(Chuck, chuck, chuck he’s the man!)

Round house kick!

 

If you get out alive

Chuck will put you in your place

The power of a roundhouse kick

Can be seen from outer space

Chuck Norris

(Chuck, chuck, chuck he’s the man!)

Round house kick!

 

If you can see Chuck Norris

Then he can see you

If you cannot see him

He’s prob’ly right behind you

Chuck Norris

(Chuck, chuck, chuck he’s the man!)

Round house kick!

 

Don’t break the law in Texas

You’ll put yourself in danger

Chuck Norris’s twin brother

Is Walker Texas Ranger

Chuck Norris

(Chuck, chuck, chuck he’s the man!)

Round house kick!

 

He doesn’t have a chin

But should still be feared

Legend tells of a third fist

Behind his magnificent beard

Chuck Norris

(Chuck, chuck, chuck he’s the man!)

Round house kick!
