Word up [Gm] - Cameo
[intro] [Gm] | [F] | [Cm] | [F]
[Gm]Yo pretty ladies a[F]round the world
Got a [Cm]weird thing to [F]show you so tell [Gm]all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your [F]mama, too
We're a[Cm]bout to go [F]down and you [Gm]know just what to do
Wave your [Gm]hands in the air like [F]you don't care
[Cm]Glide by the [F]people as they [Gm]start to look and stare
Do your dance… do your dance… [F]do your dance quick
[Cm]Mama… come on [F]baby, tell me [Gm]what's the word
Now word [Gm]up (up, up) every[F]body say
[Cm]When you hear the [F]call you got to [Gm]get it underway
Word up… it's the [F]code word
No [Cm]matter where you [F]say it you'll [Gm]know that you'll be heard
Now all you [Gm]sucker DJs who [F]think you're fly
There's [Cm]got to be a [F]reason and we [Gm]know the reason why
You try to [Gm]put on those airs and [F]act real cool
But you [Cm]got to rea[F]lise that you're [Gm]acting like fools
If there's [Gm]music we can use it, we’re [F]free to dance
[Cm]We don't have the [F]time for psycho[Gm]logical romance
No romance, no romance, [F]no romance for me,
[Cm]Mama… come on [F]baby, tell me [Gm]what's the word
Now word [Gm]up (up, up) every[F]body say
[Cm]When you hear the [F]call you got to [Gm]get it underway
Word up… it's the [F]code word
No [Cm]matter where you [F]say it you'll [Gm]know that you'll be heard
Oh word up [Gm]/
