You pretty ladies around the world
      D                   E                     F#  E   F#
Got a wierd thing to show you so tell all the boys and girls
                                        D
Tell your brother, your sister and your mama, too
       D            E           F#    E     F#
we're about to go down and you know just what to do
           F#                    E
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
D             E            F#         E     F#
Glide by the people as they start to look and stare
           F#                    E                    D
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick, mama

Come on baby, tell me what's the word

Now - word up,up ,up everybody say
          D         E              F#    E     F#
When you hear the call you got to get it underway
       F#           E             D                E
Word up, it's the code word, no matter where you say it

You'll know that you'll be heard


F#                           E
Now all you sucker DJs who think you're fly
        D           E             F#    E     F#
There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
            F#                      E
You try to put on those airs and act real cool
        F#         E                F#    E     F#
But you got to realize that you're acting like fools
             F#                         E
If there's music we can use it, we`re free to dance
D                 E           F#    E     F#
We don't have that time for psychological romance
      F#                 E                  D
No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mama
         E            F#    E     F#
Come on baby, tell me what's the word
