Loud Lyrics

MRS. WORMWOOD
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!

MRS. WORMWOOD
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!

MRS. WORMWOOD (ENSEMBLE)
Content has never been less important
So you have got to be ...

MRS. WORMWOOD AND ENSEMBLE
Loud!
(Loud, loud, loud)

MRS. WORMWOOD
Girl, you've got to learn to stand out
And stick out from the crowd!
(Crowd, crowd, crowd)

A little less flat!
(Flat!)
A lot more heel!
(Heel!)
A little less fact!
(Fact!)
A lot more feel!
(Feel!)
A little less brains!
(Brains!)
A lot more hair!
(Hair!)
A little less head!
(Head!)
A lot more derriere!
(Derriere!)

MRS. WORMWOOD
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!
Oh, no-one's going to look if you don't stand out!
No-one's going to listen if you don't shout out!

MRS. WORMWOOD AND RUDOLPHO
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!

MRS. WORMWOOD AND ENSEMBLE
You've gotta be loud!
(Loud, loud, loud)

You've gotta give yourself permission to shine
To stand out from the crowd!
(Crowd, crowd, crowd)

MRS. WORMWOOD
A little less bzz!
A lot more zing!
A little less pshh!
A lot more schwing!
A little less dressing like your Mum!
A little more bum-ba-bum-bum ba-da-bum

MRS. WORMWOOD (SPOKEN)
Oh, I look nice!
You don't!

MRS. WORMWOOD (SUNG)
No-one's going to tell you when to wiggle your bum-ba!

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

MRS. WORMWOOD
Everyone loves a little something exotic!

RUDOLPHO
But learning a language is over the top, it

MRS. WORMWOOD
Doesn't really matter if you don't know nowt!

RUDOLPHO
As long as you don't know it with a bit of clout!

MRS. WORMWOOD AND RUDOLPHO
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

MRS. WORMWOOD AND ENSEMBLE
Loud!
(Loud, loud, loud)

You've gotta give yourself permission to shine
To stand out from the crowd!
(Crowd, crowd, crowd)

MRS. WORMWOOD
A little less
A little more
A little less
A little more

No-one's gonna tell you when to, oh oh oh!
No one's gonna show you when to, ah, ah, ah!
If you want a little bit of mm, mm, mm
You can't sit around going la, la, la!

No one's gonna care if you don't care
So go and put some highlights in your hair!
'Cause you've got to highlight what you've got
And what do you got?

MRS. WORMWOOD AND ENSEMBLE
You gotta be loud!
(Loud, loud, loud)

You've gotta give yourself permission to shine
To stand out from the crowd!
(Crowd, crowd, crowd)

MRS. WORMWOOD (SPOKEN)
You so need a makeover!

MRS. WORMWOOD
You gotta be loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud!

RUDOLPHO

MRS. WORMWOOD
Wooooooo!

RUDOLPHO (SPOKEN)
Yeah!

MRS. WORMWOOD
Brrrrrrrooooooo!

RUDOLPHO (SPOKEN)
Nice!

MRS. WORMWOOD (SPOKEN)
Check out the footwork, Jennifer Littleton!

RUDOLPHO (SPOKEN)
I am the sultan of samba, baby! Woo! Yeah!

MRS. WORMWOOD AND ENSEMBLE
You gotta be loud!
(Loud, loud, loud)

MRS. WORMWOOD (SPOKEN)
You're gorgeous!

MRS. WORMWOOD
You've gotta give yourself permission to shine
To stand out from the crowd!
(Crowd, crowd, crowd)

MRS. WORMWOOD (SPOKEN)
Are you listening?

MRS. WORMWOOD (SUNG)
You've got to be loud, loud, loud
Oooh!

Stand out from the crowd, crowd, crowd, crowd!

Loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud, loud!

Ohhh, you gotta be loud!
