Word Up

Melanie B

Alright, let's just go for it

Come on baby (come on babe)
Yeah-hey-ey (word up)
Ow (you can do it)
Yeah-hey-ey (come on)

All 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 stop to look and stare
Do your dance, do your 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've got to get it underway
Ah word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
you know that you'll be heard
(word up)

Yeah-hey-ey, come on baby
Yeah-hey-ey, ow, word up
Yeah-hey-ey, (you can do it)
Yeah-hey-ey

Now all you sucker DJs who think you 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 no 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've got to get it underway
Ah word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
you know that you'll be heard
(word up)

W-wo-word up
Dial L for love

Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call
you've got to get it underway
Ah word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
you know that you'll be heard
(word up)

Yeah-hey-ey, come on baby
Yeah-hey-ey, ow, word up
(you can do it)
Yeah-hey-ey

Word up, everybody say
Word up, it's the code word
