The Lyrics
This song was written by Smokey Robinson during a three day period when he was so into Martial Arts he actually changed his name to Uke Robinson ... On a less serious vein, I did Judo for years as a child. Now after a mere 45 year interlude, one of my younglings is doing BJJ. All foreign words are mainly names of Judo throwing techniques; except that "Somomana" is a referee's command to contestants to "Freeze" on the mat so that he can check for illegal holds. (As an added bonus, it seems to track "na na NA na" really well)
Going to a dojo
Going to a dojo
Somomana, na na
Well, theres a brand new place to start, ah
On your training in martial arts, ah
Dont need to be Shaolin
Cause once you bow in
Self defense moves they'll soon impart, ah
Going to a dojo (Everybody)
Going to a dojo (C'mon now)
Dont you wanna go? (A one more time)
Gonna do "Osoto" (Osoto Gare)
Gonna do "Osoto" (Look out now)
It doesnt matter if you're Uke
It doesn't matter if you're Tori
You'll meet men from Far East
And dont be freaked
If they slam your ass to the floor-ey
Throwing in a dojo (everybody's)
Throwing in a dojo (get up now)
Dont you wanna throw? (Ah, one more guy)
Gonna Tai Otosh, oh (Everybody)
Gonna Tai Otosh, oh ( Look out, now)
It doesnt matter if you do Kata
It doesn't matter how much they taught ya
You're sure to take a fall
Im warning you all
When Japs hit you with the Uchi Mata*
Gonna score Ippon, oh (Everybody)
Gonna score Ippon, oh (Look out, now)
Dont you wanna throw ( Ah, one more guy)
Going for a choke hold (Everybody's)
Going for a choke hold (Pass out now)
Dont you wanna choke (One more time)
Going to a dojo .......
Going to a dojo
Somomana, na na
Well, theres a brand new place to start, ah
On your training in martial arts, ah
Dont need to be Shaolin
Cause once you bow in
Self defense moves they'll soon impart, ah
Going to a dojo (Everybody)
Going to a dojo (C'mon now)
Dont you wanna go? (A one more time)
Gonna do "Osoto" (Osoto Gare)
Gonna do "Osoto" (Look out now)
It doesnt matter if you're Uke
It doesn't matter if you're Tori
You'll meet men from Far East
And dont be freaked
If they slam your ass to the floor-ey
Throwing in a dojo (everybody's)
Throwing in a dojo (get up now)
Dont you wanna throw? (Ah, one more guy)
Gonna Tai Otosh, oh (Everybody)
Gonna Tai Otosh, oh ( Look out, now)
It doesnt matter if you do Kata
It doesn't matter how much they taught ya
You're sure to take a fall
Im warning you all
When Japs hit you with the Uchi Mata*
Gonna score Ippon, oh (Everybody)
Gonna score Ippon, oh (Look out, now)
Dont you wanna throw ( Ah, one more guy)
Going for a choke hold (Everybody's)
Going for a choke hold (Pass out now)
Dont you wanna choke (One more time)
Going to a dojo .......
*Uchi Mata is the queen of throwing techniques, especially for the Japanese .... Other throws mentioned .. Osoto Gare, one of the first throws you learn and Tai Otoshi, a devastating, fast moving throw. You find yourself on the mat before you even knew what hit you.

Tori -- Person who attacks with a martial arts technique. Uke -- "receives" or defends against the move. Helpful hint. It's Tori who throws Uke's ass to the floor-ey
