Ohh! 
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 
We're about to go down 
And you know just what to do 

Wave your hands in the air 
Like you dont care 
Glide by the people as they start to look and stare 
Do your dance 
Do your dance 
Do your dance quick mama, come on baby tell me whats the word 
Word up (up,up) 
Everybody say when you hear the call you 
You've got to get it underway Word up (up,up) 
its the code word 
No matter where you say it 
You know that youll be heard 

Now all you sucker. D.J.s 
Who think youre fly 
Theres got to be a reason 
And we know the reason why 
You try to put on those airs and act real cool 
But you've got to realize 
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 
Come on baby tell me whats the word 
The word up (up,up) 
Everybody say when you hear the call you 
You've got to get it underway 

Word up (up,up) 
its the code word 
No matter where you say it 
You know that youll be heard 

woo!! 

Word up (up,up) 
Everybody say when you hear the call you 
You've got to get it underway 

Word up (up,up) 
its the code word 
No matter where you say it 
You know that youll be heard 

Word up (up,up) 
Everybody say when you hear the call you 
You've got to get it underway 

Word up (up,up) 
its the code word 
No matter where you say it 
You know that youll be heard
