Word Up!
Vocabulary from Cameo: '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
