[D][C][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Yo
pretty ladies [D]around the world
Got a [C]weird thing to [D]show you so
tell [Em]all the boys and girls
Tell your brother,
your sister and your [D]mamma too
We're [C]about to go [D]down and
you [Em]know just what to do

[Verse 2]
Wave your [Em]hands in the air
like [D]you don't care
[C]Glide by the [D]people as they
[Em]start to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance,
[D]do your dance quick, [C]mama
Come on [D]baby, tell me [Em]what's the word

[Verse 3]
Word [Em]up (up, up), [D]everybody say
[C]When you hear the [D]call you've
got to [Em]get it underway
Word up (up, up), it's the [D]code word
No [C]matter where you [D]say it,
you [Em]know that [D]you'll be [Em]heard

[Verse 4]
Now all [Em]you sucker DJ's who
[D]think you're fly
There's [C]got to be a [D]reason and
we [Em]know the reason why
You try to put on those
airs [D]and act real cool
But you [C]got to real[D]ize that
you're [Em]acting like fools

[Verse 5]
If there's [Em]music we can use it,
be [D]free to dance
[C]We don't have the [D]time for
psycho[Em]logical romance
No romance, no romance,
[D]no romance for me mam[C]ma
Come on [D]baby, tell me [Em]what's the word

[Verse 6]
Word [Em]up (up, up), every[D]body say
[C]When you hear the [D]call you've
got to [Em]get it underway
Word up (up, up), it's [D]the code word
No [C]matter where you [D]say it,
you [Em]know that you'll be heard
