[Verse 1]
[Em]Yo pretty ladies aro[D]und the world
Got a [C]weird thing to [D]show you
So tell [E]all the boys and girls
Tell your [Em]brother, your sister
and your [D]mamma too
'Cause we're a[C]bout to go [D]down
And you [E]know just what to do
Wave your [Em]hands in the air like [D]you don't care
[C]Glide by the [D]people
as they [E]start to look and stare
Do your [Em]dance, do your dance,
[D]do your dance quick [C]mam- ma
Come on [D]baby tell me [E]what's the word

[Chorus 1]
Word [E]up every[D]body say
[C]When you hear the [D]call you've got to
[E]get it underway
Word [E]up
it's the [D]code word
No [C]matter where you [D]say it
you [E]know that you'll be heard

[Verse 2]
Now all you [Em]sucker DJ's
who [D]think you fly
There's [C]got to be a [D]reason
and we [E]know the reason why
You try to [Em]put on those Airs
and you [D]act real cool
But you [C]got to real[D]ize
that you're [E]acting like fools
If there's [Em]music we can use it
You're [D]free to dance
[C]We don't have the [D]time
for psycho[E]logical romance
No ro[Em]mance, no romance,
[D]no romance for me [C]mam- ma
Come on [D]baby tell me [E]what's the word

[Chorus 2]
Word [E]up every[D]body say
[C]When you hear the [D]call you've got to
[E]get it underway
