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 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 start to look
and stare
Do you dance, do your
dance
Do your 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, (up, up) it's
the code word
No matter where you say
it
You'll know that you'll
be heard
Now all you sucker.
D.J.'s
Who think you're fly
There's got to be a
reason
And we know the reason
why
You 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 (up, up)
Everybody say when you
hear the call
You got to get it
underway
---- Instrumental
Interlude ----
Dial "L" for low
Come on, all you people
say
