Accentuate The Positive

( ac-cent-thu-ate the positive,

E-lim-inate the negative,

Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, an' latch on! )



You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive,

E-lim-inate the negative,

An' latch on

To the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in-between!



You gotta spread joy up to the maximum,

Bring gloom down to the minimum,

An' have faith ( amen! )

Or pandemonium's

Liable to walk upon the scene!



To illustrate

My last remark

Jonah in the whale!

Noah in the arc!

An' what did they do  ( what did they do? )

Just when everything looked so dark?



( what did they, what did they, what did they do? )



Man! they said

You better accent-thu-ate the positive,

E-lim-inate the negative,

An' latch on

To the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in-between!

No,  don't mess with mister in-between!



( to illustrate

His last remark

Jonah in the whale!

Noah in the arc! )

An' what did they do

( what did they do?

Just when everything looked so dark?

What did they do, what did they do? )



Man! they said

You better accent-thu-ate the positive,

E-lim-inate the negative,

An' latch on

To the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in-between!

No,  don't mess with mister in-between!

No,  don't you mess with mister in-between!

No,  don't mess with mister in-between!
