Word Up

Dah 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 they�re
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 you dance, do your dance quick
Mama, come on baby, tell me what�s
The Word, ah � word 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

Now all you sucker DJ�s
Who think you�re fly
There�s got to be a reason
And we know the reason why
And act real cool
But you got to realise
That you�re acting like fools
If there�s music we can use it
We need 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
Ah � word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway
Dial �L� for low
Come on, all you people say
Word up � word up
