Word Up! (Single Version)

Lyrics by：Larry Blackmon/Thomas Michael Jenkins

Composed by：Larry Blackmon/Thomas Michael Jenkins

Oh

Yo pretty ladies around the world

Got a weird thing to show you

So tell all the boys and girls

Tell yo brother yo sister

And yo momma too

'Cause we'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 mama

Come on baby tell me what's the word

Oh word up

Everybody say when you hear their 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 DJs

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 you've got to realize

That you're acting like fools

Give us 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 mama

Come on baby tell me what's the word

Oh word up

Everybody say when you hear their call

You've got to get it underway

Dial "L" for low

Come on all you people say

W-O-R-D up W-O-R-D up

W-O-R-D up W-O-R-D up

W-O-R-D up W-O-R-D up
