[F#m]Yoh, pretty ladies, a - r[E4]ound the wo[E]rld,
Got a w[D]eird thing [D]to sh[E]ow you, so t[E]ell [F#]all the boys and girls,
Tell your br[F#m]other, your sister, and your m[E4]omma t[E]oo,
'Cause we're a - b[D]out to [D]go d[E]own, and y[E]ou k[F#]now just what to do!
Wave your [F#m]hands in the air, like [E4]you don't c[E]are,
Gl[D]ide by t[D]he pe[E]ople as th[E]ey s[F#]tart to look and stare,
Do your d[F#m]ance,... do your dance, [E4]do your dance q[E]uick, mama,
[D] Come [D]on, b[E]aby, tell [E]me wh[F#]at's the word?
A - word[F#m] up! Every - [E4]body s[E]ay,
Wh[D]en you hear t[D]he c[E]all, you got t[E]o g[F#]et it under way,
Word[F#m] up! It's the [E4]code wo[E]rd, no ma[D]tter where y[D]ou s[E]ay it,
Y[E]ou k[F#]now that you'll be heard!
Now all you s[F#m]ucker DJ's who t[E4]hink you're [E]fly,
There's g[D]ot to be [D]a re[E]ason, and [E]we k[F#]now the reason why,
You try to [F#m]put on those airs, and [E4]act real c[E]ool,
But you g[D]ot to re - [D]al - i[E]se that yo[E]u're ac[F#]ting like fools!
If there's [F#m]music we can use it, we're f[E4]ree to da[E]nce,
[D]We don't have t[D]he t[E]ime for psy - c[E]ho - lo[F#]gical romance,
No ro - [F#m]mance, no romance, [E4]no romance for [E]me, momma,
[D] Come [D]on, b[E]aby, tell [E]me w[F#]hat's the word?
A - word[F#m] up! Every - [E4]body s[E]ay, wh[D]en you hear t[D]he ca[E]ll,
You got [E]to [F#]get it under way! Owww!
