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
'Cause they’re about to throw 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 mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the word, word up

Everybody say when you hear them call you
You've 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 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've got to realise that you're acting 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 mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the word, the word up

Everybody say when you hear the call you
You've got to get it underway

Low
Dial L for Low
Come on all you people say
W O R D  up, W O R D  up, W O R D  up, W O R  D up
W O R D  up, W O R D  up
