Yo pretty ladies, around the world
Gotta wierd thing ta show ya so tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brotha, your sista and your momma too
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 try to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick
Momma come on baby tell me what's the word

Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call you got to get it under way
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard

Now all you sucka Dj's
Who think your fly
There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
You try to put on those ears and act real cool
But you've got to realize, that you're acting like fools
If there's music we can use it be free to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me
Momma come on baby tell me what's the word

Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call you got to get it under way
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard
