Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Position |
You’ve got to accentuate the positive |
Eliminate the negative |
Latch on to the affirmative |
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between |
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 ark |
What did they do |
Just when everything looked so dark) |
Man, they said we better |
Accentuate the positive |
Eliminate the negative |
Latch on to the affirmative |
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between |
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between |
Do you hear me, hmm? |
(Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear |
About the elininatin' of the negative |
And the accent on the positive) |
And gather 'round me children if you’re willin' |
And sit tight while I start reviewin' |
The attitude of doin' right |
(You've gotta accentuate the positive |
Eliminate the negative |
Latch on to the affirmative |
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between) |
You’ve got to spread joy (up to the maximum) |
Bring gloom (down) down to the minimum |
Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium |
Liable to walk upon the scene |
To illustrate (well illustrate) my last remark (you got the floor) |
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark |
What did they say (what did they say) |
Say when everything looked so dark |
Man, they said we better |
Accentuate the positive |
Eliminate the negative |
Latch on to the affirmative |
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between |
No! |
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between |
