F#m E D E F#m E
[Verse 1]
F#m E
You pretty ladies around the world
D E F#m E
Got a weird thing to show you so tell all the boys and girls
F#m E
Tell your brother, your sister and your mama, too
D E F#m E
we're about to go down and you know just what to do
F#m E
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
D E F#m E
Glide by the people as they start 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 E F#m E
When you hear the call you got to get it under way
F#m E D
Word up, it's the code word, no matter where you say it
E F#m E
You'll know that you'll be heard
[Verse 2]
F#m E
Now all you sucker DJs who think you're fly
D E F#m E
There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
F#m E
You try to put on those airs and act real cool
D E F#m E
But you got to realize that you're acting like fools
F#m E
If there's music we can use it, we`re free to dance
D E F#m E
We don't have that time for psychological romance
F#m E
No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mama
D E F#m E
Come on baby, tell me what's the word
[Chorus]
F#m E
Now - word up, up ,up everybody say
D E F#m E
When you hear the call you got to get it under way
F#m E D
Word up, it's the code word, no matter where you say it
E F#m E
You'll know that you'll be heard
[Instrumental]
F#m E D E F#m E
[Chorus] (x3)
F#m E
Now - word up, up ,up everybody say
D E F#m E
When you hear the call you got to get it under way
F#m E D
Word up, it's the code word, no matter where you say it
E F#m E
You'll know that you'll be heard
