Words and Music by Carly Simon and Jacob Brackman

background vocal by Carole King)



There's a new kind of dancing

That's going to be the rage

You just leave yourself behind

Like an actor on a stage

Cop a different pose

From the pose you're in

Shine a different attitude

From underneath your skin



Attitude dancing

Strut around the floor in a new attitude

Attitude dancing

Any attitude is the proper attitude

Attitude dancing

Don't be afraid to change your attitude

Attitude dancing

Free up your spirit with a new attitude



It don't even matter

If you stretch or shake

And it don't really matter

What moves your body makes



And it don't really matter

What steps you choose to do

Only one thing matters:

That's your attitude

Your attitude, attitude dancing



Attitude dancing

Strut around the floor in a new attitude

Attitude dancing

Learn to move in another attitude

Attitude dancing

Find the groove in a new attitude

Attitude dancing

Don't be afraid of a new attitude



It don't really matter

What steps you choose to do

The only thing that matters

Is your attitude



Your attitude, attitude dancing

Strut around the floor in a new attitude

Do the locomotion in a new attitude

Do the mashed potato in a new attitude

Do the hully gully in a new attitude



Find a role you like

Capture it and freeze

Then turn it around

A hundred and eighty degrees

Or if you're at a loss

Observe some natural dude

And turn into a mirror of his attitude



Attitude, attitude, attitude

Dancing
