[Intro: All, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall & (Jesy Nelson)]
W-O-R-D, we're coming up
K-K-K-K-Keep it, keep it coming up
So, do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick, momma
Come on, baby, tell me, what's the word? (Ow!)
Woo! Word up, (c'mon, c'mon, woo!)

[Verse 1: Perrie Edwards with Jade Thirlwall]
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 momma, too
Cause we're about to throw down, and you know just what to do

[Pre-Chorus: Jade Thirlwall]
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?

[Chorus: All]
Word up (Ahh), everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up (Ahh), it's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard

[Verse 2: All & Leigh-Anne Pinnock with Jesy Nelson or Perrie Edwards]
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 (You ain't cool)
But you got to realise that you're acting like fools

[Pre-Chorus: Jesy Nelson & All]
Give us music, we can use it, we need to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me, momma
Come on, baby, tell me, what's the word?

[Chorus: All & Perrie Edwards]
Word up (Ahh), everybody say
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up (Word up! Ahh), it's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard

[Bridge: All, Jesy Nelson & Jade Thirlwall]
W-O-R-D up! (Ohhh)
W-O-R-D (Eh-yeah, ooh) up!
W-O-R-D up! (Everybody say)
W-O-R-D up! (Yeah, hey)

[Breakdown: All, Leigh-Anne Pinnock + Jesy Nelson & Perrie Edwards]
W-O-R-D, we're coming up (Dial "L" for low)
K-K-K-K-Keep it, keep it coming up
So do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby, tell me, what's the word?
Word up, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Word up, word up, ow! Hey, yeah, eh-yeah-ey

[Chorus: All, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall & Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
Word up (Ahh), everybody say
When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway (Get it underway)
Word up (Ahh), it's the code word (It's the code word) (Oh, woah, ohhh)
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard
Word up (B-baby, ahh), everybody say (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh)
When you hear the call you've got to get it underway
Word up (Ahh), it's the (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhh) code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard (Yeah, hey-ah)
