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


[Chorus]
           F#m             E
Now - word up, up ,up everybody say
         D

[Verse 2]
            F#m            E
Now all you sucker DJs who think 
you're fly
         D                        
There's got to be a reason and we 
E        F#m    E
know the reason why
    F#m                 E
You try to put on those airs and act
 real cool
         D                         
But you got to realize that you're 
E      F#m  E
acting like fools
           F#m                 
If there's music we can use it, 
        E
we`re free to dance
    D                      
We don't have that time for 
     E  F#m       E
psychological romance
      F#m               E
No romance, no romance, no romance 
for me, mama
D                     E      F#m 
Come on baby, tell me what's the 
E
word


[Chorus]
           F#m             E
Now - word up, up ,up everybody say

When you hear the call you got to 
E      F#m   E
get it under way
      F#m         E           
Word up, it's the code word, no 
  D
