OH!
YO, 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 THROW 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 START
TO LOOK AND STARE
DO YOUR DANCE
DO YOUR DANCE
DO YOUR DANCE, QUICK, MAMA
COME ON, BABY
TELL ME, WHAT'S THE WORD
A-WORD UP
EVERYBODY SAY
WHEN YOU HEAR THE CALL
YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT UNDERWAY
WORD UP
IT'S THE CODE WORD
NO MATTER WHERE YOU SAY IT
YOU 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
YOU TRY TO PUT ON THOSE AIRS
AND ACT REAL COOL
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO REALISE
