You 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 mama too
cuz we're about to go down
And you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Gilde 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

(Chorus)

Word up everybody says
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
Word up (Yeah hey yeah)
Come On Baby (Yeah hey yeah)
Word Up (Yeh hey yeah)

Now all you sucker DJ's who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
Why you put on those airs and you act real cool
But you got to realise that you're acting like fools
If there's music we can use it
We're free 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

(Chorus x2)

Word up everybody says
Word up it's the code word
Word up (we like that, we like that
