Word Up

(album: Internashville Urban Hymns - 2005)

Your 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 mummy too
'Cause we're about to go down
And you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Gilde by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick
Come on pretty lady tell me what's the word

Word up, word up
Word up everybody says
When you hear the call you've got
To get it underway
Word up, word up
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
Why you put on those airs and you act real cool
But you got to realize that you're acting like fools
If there's music we can use it we're free to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me
Come on pretty lady tell me what's the word

Word up... everybody says
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
Know that you'll be heard
...
