Yo 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, 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 stop to look and stare
Do yo' dance, do yo' dance, do yo' 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
All you sucker. D.J.'s
Who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason
We know the reason why
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. Aaauw

Everybody say it, woah!
