Word Up

Your pretty ladies
Surround the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls

Tell your brother
Your sister
And your mummy too
'Cause we're about to go down
And you 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 your dance, do your dance
Do your dance, quick
Come on, pretty lady
Tell me, what's the word
Word up (word up!)

Everybody says
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up (word up!)

Now, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be hear

Now, all you sucker DJ's
You think, you're fly
There's got to be a reason
And we know the reason why

You try to put those airs
And you act real cool
Then you got to realize that you're acting just like fools

If there's music, we can use it
We need to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance

No romance, no romance
No romance for me
Come on, pretty lady
Tell me, what's the word
Word up (word up!)

Everybody says
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up (word up!)

Now, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Word up (word up!)
Everybody says
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway

Word up (word up!)
Now it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard
Word up (word up!)

Everybody says
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up (word up!)

Now, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard (I say)

W-O-R-D, up!
W-O-R-D, up! (I said)
W-O-R-D, up! (I said)
W-O-R-D, up!(now, everybody else, come on)
W-O-R-D, up!
W-O-R-D, up!

W-O-R-D, up!
W-O-R-D, up!
W-O-R-D, up!
W-O-R-D, up!
W-O-R-D, up!
