Intro: F#m E4 E D Eadd9 F#
F#m E4
Yoh, pretty ladies, a - round the world,
D E F#
Got a weird thing to show you, So tell all the boys and girls,
F#m E4
Tell your brother, your sister, and your mama too,
D E F#
'Cause we're a - bout to go down, And you 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----ma, come on, baby, tell me what's the word?
A - word up! Every - body say...
When you hear the call you've got to get it under way
Word up! It's the code word,
No matter where you say it, You 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 airs, and act real cool,
But you got to real-ise that you're acting like fools
Give us music, we can use it, we need to dance,
We don't have that time for psycho - logical romance,
No ro - mance, no romance, no romance for me,
Ma----ma, come on, baby, tell me what's the word?
A - word up! Every - body say...
When you hear the call you got to get it under way
F# A
