Dah, 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 mommy too
Cuz they're about to go down
And you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Gilde 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 say
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
Now all you sucker dj's, you think you're fly
There's got to be a reason and you know the reason why
You try to put those airs and act real cool
Man you got to realise 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 baby tell me what's the word
Word up, word up, everybody say
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
