You’re so vain, Carly Simon.

Not, “watched yourself go by” but “watched yourself gavotte”.

It means a French dance, by the way, to save you googling like I just had to.

I never knew that either, but it rhymes with the rest of the verse right enough

By the way, my best bit of pop trivia is that mick jagger sang backing vocals on that song.

I used to think it was 'watched yourself cavort' Grin.
