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 we're about 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, mama
Come on baby, tell me what's the word
<b>Word up</b> (up, up), everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up (up, 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 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, mama
Come on baby, tell me what's the word
Word up (up, up), everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway, ow
Ow
Dial L for love
Ah... hey hey
Ah hey hey
Now just come on, all you people say
(W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D up) ah ah ah ah ah
(W-O-R-D up, W-O-R-D up) wooh
(W-O-R-D up) hey hey
(W-O-R-D up) he-hey
Hey hey hey, yeah
Hey hey, no no no no no no no
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh, woh
Tell me like that, like that
Say it like that, now now yeah
That's the word, everybody's got to know the word
Like that, come on

I've always loved listening to a band that is not only "funky"(I love how says "underway"),but that has a lead singer's hair style I can put a plate on...no romance for me,mama come on baby tell me what's the word?
What?
What?
How many DJ's "throw back old school" when they play this song, but don't realize the lyrics are (still) slamming them!
"Yeh 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 Got to realize that you're acting like fools"
Haha.
Great song, I listen to it every day for 2 weeks now. It keeps getting into my head.
never heared about Cameo, (way before my time in 70s and 80s) I downloaded some other songs, but this seems the only one I like.
much better than the covers / remakes
Funny Funny song.
Great song, but the Gun version is far better than this one I think.
The Gun version is miles better, correct.
Well... Now there's a Korn version. And it ROCKS!!!!
surprisingly the Korn version sounds pretty much exactly like this one
i have this LP and the single on vinyl.
The remake of this song by Willis on the rewind 4 cd is amazing its my favorite song...
