Accentuate the Positive

Ah, gather 'round me

Everybody gather 'round me

While I testify

I feel the summer

Comin' on me

And the topic will be the same

That's what I'm against

If you wanna hear my story

Then just chill out

Don't be uptight

While I review the attitude of doing right

You've got to accentuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

You've got to spread joy, up to the maximum

Bring gloom down to that minimum

Have faith, a pandemonium

Libel to walk up on the scene

To illustrate my last remark

Talkin' 'bout Jonah in the whale

Noah in the ark

What did they do, when every thing looked so dark?

Then, they say

You better accentuate the positive

Eliminate that negative

Latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mr. In-Between, no

Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

To illustrate my last remark

Can't by the Jonah in the whale

Noah in the ark

What did they do, when every thing looked so dark?

Man, they say

We better accentuate the positive

Eliminate all the negative

Latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

Don't, don't mess with Mr. In-Between

Don't you mess with Mr. In-Between

Don't you mess with Mr. In-Between

Don't you mess with Mr. In-Between
