Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive

Eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in between

[Verse 2]

You got to spread joy up to the maximum

Bring gloom down to the minimum

Have faith, or pandemonium

Liable to walk upon the scene

[Verse 3]

To illustrate my last remark

Jonah in the whale and Noah in the ark

What did they do just when everything seemed so dark?

Man, they said we gotta

[Verse 4]

Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive

Eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in between

[Verse 5]

To illustrate my last remark

Jonah in the whale and Noah in the ark

What did they do just when everything seemed so dark?

Man, they said we better

[Verse 6]

Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive

Eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in between

[Verse 7]

Oh no, mmh, girl

Baby, it's ray

To dark for you

Don't mess with mister in between
