Lyrics
SCUTTLE

Now look at me You see this face In terms of beauty I'm a basket case And as for style and savoir faire Well I guess there ain’t A whole lot there Yup, although perhaps It makes no sense I strut my stuff With lots of confidence Cause though I lack And awful lot There is one thing I got! I got positoovity! I got positoovity! It gives me the zam And the zow And the yaddle laddle laddle That’s why I walk With a wiggle in my waddle Cause once you’ve heard that word There aint nothing you can do So let that positoovity Work 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!

(sung) Now he's a shmoe

SEAGULL Yo!

SCUTTLE And he's a shlep

SEAGULL Yeah?

SCUTTLE And this one doesn’t got the sharpest rep

SEAGULL Squawk?

SCUTTLE In fact all three without a doubt Mister David brains were handed out

SEAGULL But if he's no sage

SEAGULL And he's no wiz

SEAGULLS The whole world thinks That we are geniuses Cause all our screws May be unscrewed But dig our attitude

SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLS We got positricity!

SCUTTLE (spoken) How 'bout you, huh?

SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLS We got poositivity!

SCUTTLE (spoken) Just try it out, come on!

SEAGULL It gives us the bing

SEAGULL And the bang

SCUTTLE And the yippee-dip-doodle

SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLS That’s why we sounds Like thers knowledge In our noodle And once you learned that word There ain’t nothing you can do So let that positricity

SCUTTLE N-N-No, Positroocity!

SEAGULLS Poositrocity Work for you!

SEBASTIAN (spoken) Ariel, don't take advice from birdbrains.

SCUTTLE Birdbrains! Who you callin' birdbrains! We got natural talent, what i like to call Gull-ability!

SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLS So with the vip and the vap And the ba-ba boo You can flip any flap Till your wish comes true The tip is the tap Into something that you believe

SCUTTLE Cause with the zig and the zug And the zig-zug-zing There aint nothing you cant be You see its really your perogative

SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLS You simply cant think nogative

SCUTTLE Then there’s you just sitting there Smack down flat upon your dairy air, Hey! If thast the way you wanna be Well you might as well be shrubbery So stand right up, and dust your seat And walk real tall upon Your own two feet And sure you’ll trip And make mistakes But you’ve got what it takes!

(tap break)

SEAGULL You go, gull!

SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLS And now you know that word There ain’t nothing you cant do

SCUTTLE So go get some posilicity You can bet on positricity And just let that positrinity No, positroonity. Poositonity? Is it? Pardon, hat is it!

SEAGULLS Positoovity!

SCUTTLE AND SEAGULLS Positively work for you!
