Perhaps second only to “Rock and Roll All Nite” in terms of KISS party anthem prestige, this raucous number is an instant classic used to close shows on the Alive II tour.
[Verse 1]
Well, the night's begun, and you want some fun
Do you think you're gonna find it? (Think you're gonna find it)
You got to treat yourself like number one
Do you need to be reminded? (Need to be reminded)
[Pre-Chorus]
It doesn't matter what you do or say
Just forget the things that you've been told
We can't do it any other way
Everybody's got to rock and roll, whoa whoa
[Chorus]
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
[Verse 2]
If you don't feel good, there's a way you could
Don't sit there broken-hearted (Sit there broken-hearted)
Call all your friends in the neighborhood
And get the party started (Get the party started)
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't let 'em tell you that there's too much noise
They're too old to really understand
You'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys
'Cause it's time for you to take a stand, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
(You've got to have a party)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
(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
(Oh yeah)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
(I hear it getting louder)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
(And everybody, shout it now)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
(Whoo!)
