Yo pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you,
So tell all the boys and girls.
Tell your brother, your sister
And mama too, cause theyÔÇÖre
About to go down
And youÔÇÖll know just what to do.
Wave your hands in the air
Like you donÔÇÖt care, glide by
The People as they start to look and stare.
Do you dance, do your dance quick
Mama, come on baby, tell me whatÔÇÖs
The Word, ah ÔÇô word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway,
Word up, itÔÇÖs the code word,
No matter where you say it,
YouÔÇÖll know that youÔÇÖll be heard.
Now all you sucker. D.J.ÔÇÖs
Who think youÔÇÖre fly
ThereÔÇÖs got to be a reason
And we know the reason why.
You try to put on those airs
And act real cool
But you got to realise
That youÔÇÖre acting like fools.
If thereÔÇÖs music we can use it
We need to dance.
We donÔÇÖt have that time
For psychological romance
No romance
No romance
No romance for me mama
Come on baby tell me whatÔÇÖs the word.
Ah ÔÇô word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway.
Dial ÔÇ£LÔÇØ for low...
Come on, all you people say...
Word up ÔÇô word up
