    There's a new kind of dancing
    It's gonna 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 really 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
    And that's your attitude
    Attitude, Your Attitude, Attitude dancing

    Your attitude, attitude dancing

    Attitude dancing
    Strut around the floor in a new attitude

    Attitude dancing
    Dance and move in another attitude

    Attitude dancing
    Find the groove in a new attitude

    Attitude dancing
    Don't be afraid of a new attitude

    << Bridge >>

    No it don't really matter
    What steps you choose to do
    The only thing that matters
    Is your attitude

    Attitude, Your Attitude, Attitude dancing

    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
    Well then turn it around
    A hundred and eighty degrees

    Or if you're at a loss
    Just observe some natural dude
    Turn into a mirror of his attitude
    His Attitude, His Attitude, Attitude Dancing

    His Attitude, Attitude Dancing

    << Ending Refrain >>


Remember: One of the most important factors in a successful relationship is how you feel about yourself when you are with the other person.



Attitude

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.

It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes."   — Charles Swindoll —
