Loud

Somewhere along the way, my dear

You've made an awful error

You oughtn'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 smarty-pants

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! (Loud, loud, loud)

Girl, you've got to learn to stand out

And stick out from the crowd (crowd, crowd, crowd) wee!

A little less flat

A lot more heel

A little less fact

A lot more feel

A little less brains

A lot more hair

A little less head

A lot more derrière

No one's going to tell you when to shake your tush well

You've got a light, don't hide it under a bushel

No one's going to look if you don't stand out

No one's going to 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

'Cause you've gotta highlight what you've got

Even if what you've got is not a lot

You've gotta be loud (loud, loud, loud)

You've gotta give yourself a mission to shine

To stand out from the crowd (crowd, crowd, crowd) wee!

A little less bzz

A lot more zing

A little less pshh

A lot more schwang

A little less dressing like your mum

A little more bum-ba-bum-bum ba-da-bum

Oh, I look nice

You don't

No one's going to tell you when to wiggle your bum-ba

No one's going to love you if you don't know the rhumba

Everybody loves a little something exotic

But learning a language is over the top

It doesn't really matter if you don't know much

So long as you don't know it with the volume up

The less you have to sell, the harder you sell it

The less you have to say, the louder you yell it

The dumber the act, the bigger the confession

The less you have to show, the larger you dress it

You gotta get up

You gotta get up and be loud! (Loud, loud, loud, loud)

(Loud, loud, loud) woo!

♪

You've got to be loud! (Loud, loud, loud)

Stand out from the crowd! (Crowd, crowd, crowd)

Or you're nothing

You've got to be loud! (Loud, loud, loud)

Stand up and be proud (proud, proud, proud)

Think you're clever? Whatever

Loud, loud, loud, loud

Loud, loud, loud, loud...

You've got to be loud!
