Word Up!

Dah pretty ladies around the world

Got a weired 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

You try to put on those airs 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
