Loud

Somewhere along the way, my dear
You’ve made an awful error.
You shouldn’t blame yourself, now, come along.
You seem to think that people like people what are clever
It’s very quaint; it’s very sweet, but wrong.

People don’t like smartypants what go round
Claiming that they know stuff we don’t know
Now here’s a tip:
What you know matters less
Than the volume with which what you don’t know’s expressed.
Content, has never been less important.
So, you have got to be
LOUD!

Girl you’ve to learn to stand up and stick out from the crowd
A little less flat, a lot more heel
A little less fat, a lot more feel
A little less brains, a lot more hair
A little less head, a lot more derriere

No one’s going to tell you when to shake your tush,
Well you gotta, like, don’t hide it under a bush
Oh, no one’s gonna look if you don’t stand out
No one’s gonna listen if you don’t shout.
No one’s going to care if you don’t care
So go and put some highlights in your hair
Coz you gotta highlight what you got
Even if what you got is not a lot.

You gotta be loud!
You’ve gotta give yourself to permission to shine
To stand out from the crowd!
A little less bzzz, a lot more zing
A little less pshh a lot more shwang
A little less dressing like your mum
A little more bum bum, bum, bum, bum, bu-da bum

“Ooh, I look nice! You don’t!”

No one’s gonna tell yo when to wiggle your bum-ba
No one’s gonna love you if you don’t know the Rumba
Everybody loves a little something exotic
But learning a language is over the top
It doesn’t really matter if you don’t own out
As long as you don’t know it with a bitter clout.

The less you have to sell, the harder you sell it
The less you have to say, the louder you yell it
Dumber the act, the bigger the confession
The less you have to show, the louder you dress it
You gotta get up, you gotta get up and be loud!

You gotta give yourself permission to shine
Stand out from the crowd.
A little less, a little more
A little less, a little more.

No one’s going to tell you when to oh, oh, oh
No one’s go to show you when to ha, ha, ha
If you want a little bit of mo, mo, mo
You gotta get around going la, la, la

No one’s going to care if you don’t care,
So go and put some highlights in your hair
Coz you gotta highlight what you got
And what do you got?!
You gotta be loud!
You gotta give yourself permission to shine
To stand out from the crowd

“You so need a makeover!”

You gotta be
Loud

“5, 6, 7, 8! Wooh! Yeah! Ooh! Nice Mrs Wormwood, nice!”
“Check out the foot-work, Jennifer Littleton!”
“I am the Sultan of Samba, baby! Wooh! Yeah!”

You gotta be loud!
“And be gorgeous!”
Stick out from the crowd!
“Are you listening?!”
You gotta be loud, loud, loud! Ooh!
Stand out from the crowd, crowd, crowd!
You gotta be
Loud x12
You gotta be LOUD!
