[Intro]: F#
[Verse 1]
F# E D E
All you pretty ladies around the world, got a weird thing to show you so
F# E
tell all the boys and girls. Tell your brother, your sister and your mommy,
D E F#
too, cause they're about to go down and we know just what to do.
E D E
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care. Glide by the people as they
F# E
start to look and stare. Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick,
D E F#
come on pretty lady, tell me what's the word.
[chorus]
F# E D E F#
word up (word up!) everybody say, when you hear the call you got to get it
on the way.
F# E D E
