V1 Your pretty ladies around the world vi V IV V VI (x4)


Got a weird thing to show you So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mamma too
we're about to go down And you 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 (keys in)
Come on baby tell me what's the word

Ch Word up everybody says vi V IV V VI (x2)


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 know that you'll be heard

V2 Now all you sucker DJ's who think you're fly


There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
Why you put on those airs and you act real cool
Got to realize that you're acting like fools
If there's music we can use it You're free 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
