Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive

You've got to accentuate

The positive 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 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

You've got to accentuate

The positive eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mister In-Between

To illustrate my last remark

Jonah in the whale Noah in the ark

What did they do just when everything looked so dark

I said you've got to accentuate

The positive eliminate the negative

And latch on

To the affirmative

Don't mess with Mister In-Between

Don't mess with Mister In-Between
