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 your mamma 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 start to look and stare 
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mama [bad word] on baby tell me what's the word 

Word up (up up) everybody say 
When you hear the call you've got to get it under way
Word up (up up) it's the code word 
No matter where you say it you know that you'll be heard 

Now all you sucker 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 
But you 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 mama [bad word] on baby tell me what's the word 

Word up (up up) everybody say 
When you hear the call you've got to get it under way 
Word up (up up) it's the code word 
No matter where you say it you know that you'll be heard
