Yoh, pretty ladies, a - round the

      D              E            
Got a weird thing to show you, so 
     F#
tell all the boys and girls,
          F#m                      
Tell your brother, your sister, and
      Esus4
 your momma too,
                 D          E     
'Cause we're a - bout to go down,

and you know just what to do

[Verse 2]

Wave your hands in the air, like 
Esus4

D            E              F#
Glide by the people as they stop to 
look and stare,
        F#m                   
Do your dance, do your dance, do 
Esus4
your dance quick,
    D              E             
Mo----ma, come on, baby, tell me 
F#
what's the word?

[Verse 3]
             F#m             Esus4
Now, all you sucker DJ's who think 
you're fly,
        D           E              
There's got to be a reason, and we 
F#

           F#m                    
You try to put on those airs, and

But you got to real - ise that 
         F#

       Esus4
we're free to dance,
D                 E              
We don't have the time for psycho
   F#

        F#m                
No ro - mance, no romance, no
