Lyrics

[Verse 1]
W-O-R-D, we're comin' up
K-k-keep it, keep it comin' up
So do your dance, do your dance
Do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby, tell me what's the word?
Ow
[Verse 2]
Woo, hey
Word up
Come on, come on
[Verse 3]
Yo, pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you, so tell all the boys and girls
Tell yo' brotha, yo' sista, and yo' mama, too
'Cause we're about to throw down
And you know just what to do
[Verse 4]
Wave your hands in the air, like you don't 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 what's the word?
Word up!
[Verse 5]
(Ah) Everybody say
When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway
Word up!
(Ah) It's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard
[Verse 6]
All you sucka DJ'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 (You ain't cool)
But you've got to realize that you're actin' like fools
[Verse 7]
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, mama
Come on, baby, tell me what's the word?
Word up!
[Verse 8]
(Ah) Everybody say
When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway
Word up!
(Ah) It's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard
[Verse 9]
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up (Everybody say)
W-O-R-D up (Yeah)
[Verse 10]
W-O-R-D, we're comin' up
(Dial L for low)
K-k-keep it, keep it comin' up
So do your dance, do your dance
Do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby, tell me what's the word?
Word up! (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 11]
Word up! Word up! Ow
Hey, hey
(Word up!)
[Verse 12]
(Ah) Everybody say
When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway
(Get it underway) Word up!
(Ah) It's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard
[Verse 13]
Word up!
(Ah) Everybody say
When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway
Word up!
(Ah) It's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard
Yeah
