Accentuate the Positive
(Ac-cen-tu-ate the positive)
(E-lim-inate the negative)
(Ac-cent-tu-ate the positive, an' latch on)
You gotta accen-tu-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 (Amen)
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
Accen-tu-ate the positive
E-lim-inate the negative
An' latch on
To the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between
No, don't you mess with mister in-between
(To illustrate)
(His last remark)
(Jonah in the whale)
(Noah in the ark)
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 accen-tu-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
(E-lim-inate the negative)
(Ac-cent-tu-ate the positive, an' latch on)
You gotta accen-tu-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 (Amen)
To illustrate
My last remark

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

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
