Oh!

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 Mama too

'cause we're about

to throw 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

come on, baby

tell me, what's the word

A-word up

everybody say

when you hear the call

you've got to get it underway

Word up

it's the code word

no matter where you say it

you know that you'll be heard

Now all you sucker DJs

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've got to realise

that you're actin' 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, Mama

come on, baby

tell me, what's the word

A-word up

everybody say

when you hear the call

you've got to get it underway

ow!

Oh!

Dial L for low

Oh... Yeah

hey-hey

a-hey-hey

now just come on

all you people sing!

Yeah, a-yeah, yeah

Hey-hey

hey, you're right

A-hey-hey

hey..... hey-hey, yeah, up!

Hey, hey, hey, ooh

no, no, no, no, no, no, up!

Ooh-ooh-ooh, up!

Sing it like that, like that

sing it like that

No, No, up

Up!

That's the word

everybody's got to know it

so, up! I sing, word up!

Oh

take me real low

Ow!
