Cameo - Word Up! lyrics

Dah pretty ladies around the world

Got a weired thing to show you,

So tell all the boys and girls.

Tell your brother, your sister

And mama too, cause they’re

About to go down

And you’ll 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 you dance, do your dance quick

Mama, come on baby, tell me what’s

The Word, ah – word up,

Everybody say when you hear the call

You got to get it underway,

Word up, it’s the code word,

No matter where you say it,

You’ll know that you’ll be heard.

Now all you sucker. D.J.’s

Who think you’re fly

There’s got to be a reason

And we know the reason why.

And act real cool

But you got to realise

That you’re acting like fools.

If there’s music we can use it

We need to dance.

We don’t have that time

For psychological romance

No romance

No romance

No romance for me mama

Come on baby tell me what’s the word.

Ah – word up,

Everybody say when you hear the call

You got to get it underway.

Dial “L” for low...

Come on, all you people say...

Word up – word up
