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 You’ll know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air Like you don’t 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 what’s the word Ah word up Everybody say when you hear them call You got to get it underway Word up, oh it’s the code word No matter where you say it You know that you’ll be heard
Now all you super DJs Who think you’re fly Well there’s 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 you’re acting 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 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 you’ll be heard
Oh W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D up I said W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D-D yeah W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D up I said W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D-D ah
