Well it’s Friday nite and the streets
are full of the weekends with their green
Soldier boys looking left and right
at all the sights there to be seen
Well you can be there’s a loaner
who’d love to see you be so sweet
That’s why I’m telling you to get on
your shooz and get out there on the street
And get your rockin’
Rock n’Roll Shooz
Up and down around they go with
their heads turning all around
Way down there on the corner
there’s a Cadillac that’s easy to be found
Way down there in Chicago, down
along Division street
The boys are just looking for a girl
like you to make their stay in town a treat
So get your rockin’
Rock n’Roll Shooz
They all love it baby, they keep
comin’ back for more
Rock n’Roll Shooz

Some of the lyrics to Shooz have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Styx and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Shooz if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Shooz" means the words set to the music of Shooz, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Styx. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Shooz and the lyrics to Shooz are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Styx who came here looking just for the lyrics to Shooz, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
