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 momma too,
D E F#
'Cause we're a - bout to go down, and you know just what to do
F#m E4
Wave your hands in the air, like you don't care,
D E F#
Glide by the people as they stop to look and stare,
F#m E4
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick,
D E F#
Mo----ma, come on, baby, tell me what's the word?
F#7 (F#7sus4)(F#7) E4 E
A - word up! Every - body say...
D E F#
When you hear the call, you got to get it under way,
F#7 F#7sus4 F#7 E4 E
Word up! It's the code word,
D Eadd9 F#
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard
F#m E4
Now, all you sucker DJ's who think you're fly,
D E F#
There's got to be a reason, and we know the reason why,
F#m E4
You try to put on those airs, and act real cool,
D Eadd9 F#
But you got to real - ise that you're acting like fools
F#m E4
If there's music we can use it, we're free to dance,
D E F#
We don't have the time for psycho - logical romance,
F#m E4
No ro - mance, no romance, no romance for me,
D Eadd9 F#
Mo----ma, come on, baby, tell me what's the word?
F#7 (F#7sus4)(F#7) E4 E
A - word up! Every - body say...
D E F#
When you hear the call, you got to get it under way! Owww!
