Lyrics
Well the night's begun and you want some fun
Beginning of the night, seeking enjoyment
Do you think you're gonna find it (find it)
Questioning the likelihood of finding fun
You got to treat yourself like number one
Emphasizing self-value and importance
Do you need to be reminded (need to be reminded)
Suggesting a need for self-reminder
It doesn't matter what you do or say
Disregarding external judgments or opinions
Just forget the things that you've been told
Encouraging to ignore past advice or criticism
We can't do it any other way
Insisting on a specific approach to things
Everybody's got to rock n roll yay
Highlighting the universal appeal of rock and roll
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Repetition emphasizing the act of shouting out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
-If you don't feel good every way you could
Addressing a need for feeling good in various ways
Don't sit there broken hearted (sit there broken hearted)
Advising against wallowing in heartbreak
Call all your friends in the neighborhood
Suggesting a remedy by involving friends and starting a party
And get the party started(get the party started)
-Don't let them tell you that there's too much noise
Dismissing criticism of loudness and enjoyment
They're too old to really understand
Attributing a lack of understanding to age
You'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys
Encouraging energetic behavior in both genders
'Cause it's time for you to take a stand yay
Calling for taking a stand and embracing the moment
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Reiteration of the call to shout out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
-Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
-You got to have a party
Stressing the necessity of having a party
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Encouragement to increase the volume and collective shouting
Turn it up louder
-Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
-And everybody shout it now
-Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Repeating the call for shouting out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
-I hear you gettin' louder
Observing an increase in volume
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Final exhortation for everyone to shout
Everybody shout it now
-Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Closing repetition of the call to shout out loud
