LYRICS

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 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 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 ya 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 the time for psychological romance

No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mamma

Come on baby, tell me what's the word

Word up, everybody say

When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway
