Word Up

[Intro]
Ready?
One, two, three four!
Yee-haw! Yeah! Woohoo!
Get 'em fellas

[Verse 1]
Your 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 mummy too
Cuz they're 'bout to go down and you know just what to do

(Come on, Bob)

[Pre-Chorus]
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
Come on, pretty lady/baby, tell me what's The word?

[Chorus]
Word up, WORD UP!
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway

Word up, WORD UP!
Now it's a code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

(Gui-tar!)
[Guitar Breakdown]

[Verse 2]
(Alright)
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 those airs and you
Act real cool
Then you got to realize you're Acting just like fools

[Pre-Chorus]
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
Come on, pretty baby, tell me what's The word?

[Chorus]
Word up, WORD UP!
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway

Word up, WORD UP!
Now it's a code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Alright, Hank, show 'em what time it is!
Yeah, alright! (Yeeee-haaa!)

[Chorus]
Word up, WORD UP!
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway

Word up, WORD UP!
Now it's a code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Word up, WORD UP!
Everybody say
When you hear the call
