Text: Kinks. Attitude.
You go down the pub, you wear make up
And old Dad's trousers, why don't you tidy up?
You talk like a docker but you act like a queer
You drink champagne then complain it's too dear
You try so hard not to follow any trends
Then you cry in your beer
And say you've got no friends
But is it any wonder you've got no friends?
It's not the make up or the way you ought to dress
It's not your appearance, they all detest
It's not your manners that you gotta improve
Ooh, it's your attitude
Attitude, tu, tu, tu, your attitude
(Your attitude, it's your attitude)
Attitude, tu, tu, tu, your attitude
(It's your attitude)
Take off your head phones, hear what's going on
You can't live in a time zone, you've gotta move on
But before you get there, there's one thing you've gotta do
Oh, change your attitude
Attitude, tu, tu, tu, your attitude
(It's your attitude, it's your attitude)
Attitude, tu, tu, tu
(It's your attitude)
The '80s are here
I know 'cuz I'm staring right at them
But you're still waiting
For 1960 to happen
You might have the illness, but you've got the cure
You've got the answer, you will endure
You're the only person that's gonna pull you through
Ooh, with your attitude
Attitude, tu, tu, tu
Your attitude
Attitude, tu, tu, tu
Your attitude
Attitude, tu, tu, tu
(It's your attitude)
Attitude, tu, tu, tu
You gotta learn to be positive, it's your only chance
You mustn't be so defensive, you gotta join in the dance
But it isn't your dancin' that you've gotta improve
Ooh, it's your attitude
Attitude, tu, tu, tu
(It's your attitude, it's your attitude)
Attitude, tu, tu, tu
It's all in the music
It's all in your brain
Used all the old ways
Now it's all gotta change
Attitude, your attitude
Attitude
