Ac Cent Tchu Ate The Positive lyrics

You`ve got to accentuate the positive,
Eliminate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative,
Don`t mess with Mr. Inbetween.

You`ve got to spread joy up to the maximum,
Bring gloom down to the minimum,
Have faith, or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene.

To illustrate
His last remark:
Jonah in the whale,
Noah in the arc,
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?

Man, they said we`d better
Accentuate the positive,
Eliminate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative,
Don`t mess with Mr. Inbetween.
No, do not mess with Mr. Inbetween,
Do you hear me, hmm?

Oh, listen to me, chillen, and-a you will hear,
About the `liminating of the negative,
And the accent on the positive!
Gather `round me, chillen, if you`re willin`
And sit tight, while I start reviewin`
The attitude of viewin` right.

You`ve got to accentuate the positive,
Eliminate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative,
Don`t mess with Mr. Inbetween.

You`ve got to spread joy up to the maximum,
Bring gloom down down to the minimum,
Then, otherwise, otherwise, pandemonium`s
Liable to walk upon the scene.

To illustrate
Well, illustrate!
My last remark:
You`ve got the floor;
Jonah, Jonah in the whale,
Noah in the arc,
What did they say
What did they say
Say when everything looked so dark?

Man, they said we`d better
Accentuate the positive,
Eliminate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative,
Don`t mess with Mr. Inbetween.
No, don`t mess with Mr. Inbetween
