Oh pretty ladies around the world
I got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brothers, your sisters
Your mother too
Cause we're about to throw down
Youll know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air
Like you dont care
Glide by the people when they start to look and stare
Do your dance
Do your dance
Do your dance quick mama
Now come on baby tell me whats the word
Ah word up
Everybody say when you hear them call
You got to get it underway
Word up, oh its the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that youll be heard
Now all you super DJs
Who think youre fly
Well theres got to be a reason
You know the reason
You try to put on those airs and act real cool
You've got to realise
That youre acting like fools
If theres music we can use it
We need to dance
We dont have the time
For psychological romance
No romance
No romance
No romance for me mama
Well come on baby tell me what is your word
Ah word up
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway
Word up
Oh it's the cool word
No matter where you say it
You know that youll be heard
Oh W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D up
