Sides face, grand square
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 mamma too
Cause they're about to throw down
Allemande left and weave the ring
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 mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the word? "Word Up"

Heads (sides) square thru four hands you go
Round that corner girl, you do a dosado
Swing thru today, the boys run right, ferris wheel and then
Centers pass thru, touch 1/4,
Follow your neighbor, 1/2 a spread
Swing the corner promenade
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the word? "Word Up"

All four ladies (men) promenade around you go
Get back home, swing that boy that you know
Join hands circle left you go,
Allemande left and weave the ring
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 mamma
Come on baby tell me what's the word? "Word Up"
