Positoovity

"Positoovity" is a song from the Broadway musical, The Little Mermaid. It is the opening of Act II and is sung by Scuttle, Sebastian and the Seagulls.
After Ariel has sold her voice for human legs, Scuttle and the Seagulls give the young mermaid a crash course on being human, the number one rule being to have confidence in herself and always keep a positive attitude. Before long they've got her on her feet and dancing.
With the revised book after show closed on Broadway, parts of the song were removed. The tap section however has remained.

SCUTTLE
Now look at meYou see this faceIn terms of beauty I'm a basket caseAnd as for style and savoir faireWell I guess there ain’tA whole lot thereYup, although perhapsIt makes no senseI strut my stuffWith lots of confidenceCause though I lackAnd awful lotThere is one thing I got!I got positoovity!I got positoovity!It gives me the zamAnd the zowAnd the yaddle laddle laddleThat’s why I walkWith a wiggle in my waddleCause once you’ve heard that wordThere ain't nothing you can doSo let that positoovityWork for you
SEBASTIAN(spoken)Positoovity? Why der's no such word.
SCUTTLE(spoken)Course there is in the dictionary right between popsuckle and prehysterical.Believe you me I seen it work miracles!

SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLSSo with the vip and the vapAnd the ba-ba booYou can flip any flapTill your wish comes trueThe tip is the tapInto something that you believe
SCUTTLECause with the zig and the zugAnd the ziz-zer-zeeThere ain't nothing you can't beYou see it's really your perogative
SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLSYou simply can't think nogative
SCUTTLEThen there’s you just sitting thereSmack down flat upon your derriere, Hey!If thast the way you wanna beWell you might as well be shrubberySo stand right up, and dust your seatAnd walk real tall uponYour own two feetAnd sure you’ll tripAnd make mistakesBut you’ve got what it takes!
