Shout Sister Shout

(Shout, sister shout

Shout, sister shout

Shout, sister shout

Tell the whole world what it's all about)

Now listen everybody to the precious words

I'm gonna do some chirping

And I ain't no bird

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 stand

A reason to sing

But there ain't no reason

Why a man can't swing

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

I gotcha covered sister

(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
