Word Up

Oh! (OH!)
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 ma-mma too,
'Cause they're about to throw 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,
Ma-mma, c'mon baby, tell me what's the word?

Ah word up!

Everybody say,
When you hear the call
You've 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 your fly,
There's got to be a reason, and we know the reason why.
You try to put on those airs and act real cool,
But ya got to realize that you're acting like fools.

Give us music, we can use it, be free to dance.
We don't have no time for psychological romance.
No romance, no romance, no romance for me,
Ma-mma, c'mon baby, tell me what's the word?

Ah word up!

Everybody say,
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway.(Oww!)

Low,
Dial 'L' for Low

Ahhhh--ah-ha (ah hey)(ah whoo)

Just (just sing) c'mon all you people sing:

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!

They think real low.(Oww!)
As low as you go.(whew)
Ahhhh-- low,low,low,Low
As low as you go.
