Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All 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
'Cause they're 'bout to go down
And you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
God 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
[Verse 2]
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 a code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard
[Verse 3]
Now all you sucker djs ya 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 realize 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
[Verse 4]
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 a code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard
[Verse 5]
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 a code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard
[Verse 6]
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 a code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard
[Verse 7]
W O R D up
W O R D up
I said W O R D up
I said W O R D up
Now everybody now come on
W O R D up
W O R D up
W O R D up
I said W O R D up
I said W O R D up
W O R D up
Alright come on
W O R D up
