Shout, Sister, Shout!

{Divetisment}

Shout, sister shout,

Shout, sister shout

Shout, sister shout,

Tell the whole world what it's all about

{Orchestra}

Now listen everybody to the precious words

I'm gonna do some chirping And I ain't no bird

{Orchestra}

There's a reason for living

A reason for dying

A darned good reason why a woman starts crying

A reason for a mole,

a reason for a dimple

But there ain't no reason why a man's so simple

(Shout, sister shout) Yeah!

(Shout, sister shout) I'm tellin' you

(Shout, sister shout) Yeah!

(Tell the whole world what it's all about)

There's a way to be brilliant

A way to be a fool

A way to get to heaven

Observe the golden rule

A way to get a sweetheart,

A way to get a wife

But the day you quit me brother That's the day you lose your life

(Shout, sister shout) Yeah!

(Shout, sister shout) oh boy!

(Shout, sister shout) Yeah!

(Tell the whole world what it's all about)

There's a reason for a mountain,

A reason for a hill

A reason why a doctor Gives a patient a pill

A reason to dance

A reason to sing

But there ain't no reason Why a man can't swing

{Orchestra, Dance}

I can understand the birds

And I can understand the bees

Sister, I can even understand Why a rat eats cheese

I can understand my dog

And I can understand your cat

Well fill me full o' rhythm

Can you understand that

(Shout, sister shout) hallelujah!

(Shout, sister shout) hallelujah!

(Shout, sister shout) hallelujah!

(Tell the whole world what it's all about)

I'm gonna shoooo-ut

I'm gonna shoooo-ut

I'm gonna shout it out

And tell the world what it's all about.
