[Intro 1]
[Em][D][C][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Yo pretty ladies aro[D]und the world
Got a [C]weird thing to [D]show you
so tell [Em]all the boys and girls
Tell your [Em]brother, your sister
and your [D]mamma too
We're a[C]bout to go [D]down
and you [Em]know just what to do

[Verse 2]
Wave your [Em]hands in the air
like [D]you don't care
[C]Glide by the [D]people as they [Em]start
to look and stare
Do your [Em]dance, do your dance,
[D]do your dance quick, [C]mam- ma
Come on [D]baby, tell me [Em]what's the word

[Chorus 1]
Word [Em]up (up, up), everyb[D]o dy say
[C]When you hear the [D]call
you've got to [Em]get it underway
Word [Em]up (up, up), it's the c[D]ode word
No [C]matter where you [D]say it,
you [Em]know that you'll be heard

[Verse 3]
Now all you [Em]sucker DJ's
who [D]think you're fly
There's [C]got to be a [D]reason
and we [Em]know the reason why
You try to [Em]put on those airs
and [D]act real cool
But you [C]got to [D]realize that you're
[Em]acting like fools

[Verse 4]
If there's [Em]music we can use it,
be [D]free to dance
[C]We don't have the [D]time
for psycho[Em]lo gical romance
No ro[Em]mance no romance,
[D]no romance for me [C]mam- ma
Come on [D]baby, tell me [Em]what's the word

[Chorus 2]
Word [Em]up (up, up), everyb[D]o dy say
[C]When you hear the [D]call
you've got to [Em]get it underway
Word [Em]up (up, up), it's the c[D]ode word
No [C]matter where you [D]say it,
you [Em]know that you'll be heard

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Chorus 3]
[Em]Word up, everybo d[D]y say
[C]When you hear the [D]call
you've got to [Em]get it underway
Word [Em]up (up, up), it's the c[D]ode word
No [C]matter where you [D]say it,
you [Em]know that you'll be heard

[Chorus 4]
[Em]Word up, everybo d[D]y say
[C]When you hear the [D]call
you've got to [Em]get it underway
Word [Em]up (up, up), it's the c[D]ode word
No [C]matter where you [D]say it,
you [Em]know that you'll be heard
