Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive

[Verse]

You've got to accentuate the positive

And eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in-between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum

And bring gloom down to the minimum

Have faith or pandemonium's

Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark

Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark

What did they do just when everything looked so dark?

They said you've got to accentuate the positive

And eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in-between

[Outro]

Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark

What did they do just when everything looked so dark?

They said you've got to accentuate the positive

And eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

And don't mess with mister in-between

Don't mess with mister in-between
