Shout!
[HAYWOOD]
Second chance!
Thank ya’ Lord!
Thank ya’, thank ya’ Lord!

[ROY, spoken]
We got ourselves another trial!

[ALL]
Second chance!

[ROY]
Second chance!

[ALL]
Thank ya’, Lord!

[ROY]
Thank ya’, Lord!

Thank ya’, thank ya’ Lord!

Shout! Let it be celebrated
Stand and slap your tambourines
Blues have been annihilated
Blown to smithereens
When I thought I’d meet my maker
When they said “you’re gonna fry”
God supplied a circuit breaker
Givin’ me another try
Skies were dark and days were gloomy
Thought I didn’t stand a chance
Now that good luck’s comin’ to me
Both my feet can’t wait to dance
Shout! And make a noise like thunder
Stand until you burn thе floor
Cheer and make the whole world wondеr
“What’s that cheerin’ for?”

[A LADY]
Soprano vocalizations

[ALL]
Shout! Let it be celebrated
Stand and slap your tambourines
Blues have been annihilated
Blown to smithereens
When I thought I’d meet my maker
When they said “you’re gonna fry”
God supplied a circuit breaker
Got another try
Woah, woah, woah
We got another try

Lord, we got another try
