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 mama

too



'Cause they're about to go down

and you'll 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

ah - word up



Everybody say when you hear the call

you got to get it underway.

Word up

it's the code word

no matter where you say it



You'll know that you'll be heard.



Now all you sucker D.J.'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

we need to dance



We don't have that time for psychological romance.



No romance

no romance

no romance for me

mama



Come on baby

tell me what's the word

ah - word up



Everybody say when you hear the call you got to get it underway.



Dial 'L' for low - come on

all you people say -
