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'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

Oh, 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'll 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 you act real cool
But you got to realize that you're acting like fools
Give us 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

Oh, word up
Everybody say when you hear the call
You've got to get it underway, ow

Oh
Dial "L" for low

Come on, all you people sing
W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D up (woo)

W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
