Word Up! Lyrics

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 your mamma too
We're about to go down and you know just what to doWave 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 mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the wordWord up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it you know that you'll be heardNow all you sucker DJ's 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 foolsIf there's music we can use it be free to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the wordWord up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word

No matter where you say it you know that you'll be heardWord up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it you know that you'll be heardWord up, everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it you know that you'll be heard
