tim minchin – loud [broadway] 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
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!
girl, you’ve gotta learn to stand up and stick out from the
crowd!
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 derriere
(whoa! neigh!)
no one’s gonna tell you when to shake your tush
well, you 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 gonna care if you don’t care
so go and put some highlights in your hair
’cause you’ve gotta highlight what you got
even if what you got is not a lot
you gotta be loud!
you gotta give yourself permission to shine
to stand up and be proud!
whee!
a little less zzz, a lot more zing
a little less shh, a lot more schwing
a little less dressing like your mum
a little more bah-da, ba ba ba-da bom!
oh, i look nice. you don’t!
no one’s gonna tell you when to wiggle your b-mba
[rudolpho]
no one’s gonna love you if you don’t know the rumba
[mrs wormwood]
everybody loves a little something exotic
[rudolpho]
but learning a language is over the top –
[mrs wormwood]
it doesn’t really matter if you don’t know much!
[rudolpho]
as long as you don’t know it with the volume up
[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 louder you dress it
you gotta get up!
you gotta get up and be loud!
[judge]
your judges!
[mrs wormwood]
i’m the best! i’m the best! i’m the best!
ten! of course! i mean, what else?
you gotta be loud!
stand out from the crowd!
are you listening?
you gotta be loud!
stand up and be proud!
[ensemble]
loud, loud, loud, loud!
loud, loud, loud, loud!
loud, loud, loud, loud!
[mrs wormwood]
you gotta be loud!
