Word Up!

1. You pretty ladies around the world

Got a wierd thing to show you so tell all the boys and girls

Tell your brother, your sister and your mama, too

we're about to go down and you 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, mama

Come on baby, tell me what's the word

R: Now - word up, up, up everybody say

When you hear the call you 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

2. Now all you sucker DJs who think you're fly

There's 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 realize that you're acting like fools

If there's music we can use it, we`re free to dance

We don't have that time for psychological romance

No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mama

Come on baby, tell me what's the word

R: Now - word up,up,up everybody say... (3x)
