Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate 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 the minimum
Have faith, or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, do not mess with Mr. In-Between
Do you hear me?
Oh, listen to me children and, uh, you will hear
About eliminatin' of the negative and an accent on a positive
And gather 'round me children if you willin'
And sit tight while I start reviewin' the attitude of doin' right
You gotta ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
You got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Then (otherwise), otherwise
Pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene
(To illustrate) well, illustrate
(My last remark) you got the floor
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
(What did they say?) What did they say?
(Say, when everything looked so dark?)
Man, they said we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between
E-lim-i-nate 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 the minimum
Have faith, or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, do not mess with Mr. In-Between
Do you hear me?
Oh, listen to me children and, uh, you will hear
About eliminatin' of the negative and an accent on a positive
And gather 'round me children if you willin'
And sit tight while I start reviewin' the attitude of doin' right
You gotta ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
You got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Then (otherwise), otherwise
Pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene
(To illustrate) well, illustrate
(My last remark) you got the floor

(What did they say?) What did they say?
(Say, when everything looked so dark?)
Man, they said we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between
