This is a rather interesting question you got there. I myself have never attempted something like this, mostly because i was pretty certain I would mess it up.
I would maybe try a few different way to see what you think sounds/looks/feels/is the best for your situation. I think your best bet would probably be to put the song lyrics in italics or parentheses or something to separate it from the rest of the story. After each action, put the lyrics in that would accompany it. Once you have the general thing planned out, play around with the words a bit to try and find a really good rhythm for everything. Here's a short example I just made up;
I rolled under the table and came up in a kneeling position, shooting both guards quickly. another on bites the dust. I whirled around and fired another shot at the guard pretending to be dead. another one bites the dust. With the immediate threat gone, I tossed a grenade into the closed room and waited. and another ones gone and another ones gone and another on bites the dust
