Word Up (7" Vocal Version)

Yo pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister, and your mama too
'Cause they're about to go 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
Ah – word up

Everybody say
When you hear the call you 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 DJ's
Who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason
And we know the reason why

You try to put on those ads
And act real cool
But you got to realise
That you're acting like fools

If there's music we can use it
We need to dance
We don't have that time
For psychological romance

No romance
No romance
No romance for me mama
Come on baby tell me what's the word
Ah, word up

Everybody say, when you hear the call
You've got to get it underway. Ow!

Low
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

La, la, la, la, la, la, low (Low)

Say it like that (Like that)
Say it like that, ya'll know it (Woah)
What's the word? (What's - Woah - the word?)
Everybody's got to know-ow (Woah yeah)
Everybody say it, woah!

Low
They think real low (Oww!)
As low as you go (Whew)
Ahhhh, low, low, low
