   we're about to go down and you know just what to do
                                    D
   Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
   C             D             E
   Glide by the people as they start to look and stare
                                  D                     C

          E
   You'll know that you'll be heard
               
2. Now all you sucker DJs 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 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 that time for psychological romance
   No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mama
   Come on baby, tell me what's the word

R: Now - word up,up,up everybody say... (3x)
