Ohh!

Yo pretty ladies around the world

Got a weired thing to tell you

So tell all the boys and girls

Tell your brother, your sister

And your mama too

Cause wer'e about to go down

And you’ll know just what to do



Wave your hands in the air

Like you don’t care

Glide by the people as they start to look and stare

Do your dance

Do your dance

Do your dance quick now, come on baby tell me what’s the word

Word up

Everybody say when you hear that call

You've got to get it underway

Word up, it’s the code word

No matter where you say it

You’ll know that you’ll be heard



Now all you sucker. D.J.’s

Who think you’re fly

There’s got to be a reason

And we know the reason why

Try to put on those aires and act real cool

But you've got to realize

That you’re acting like fools

If there’s music we can use it

We need to dance

We don’t have the time

For psychological romance

No romance

No romance

No romance for me mama

Come on baby tell me what’s the word

Everybody say when you hear the call

You got to get it underway.



Dial “L” for low...

Come on, all you people say...

W-O-R-D up – W-O-R-D up
