Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive (feat. Johnny Mercer)
You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eli-minate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum, and
Have faith, or pandemonium
Is liable to walk upon the sea
To illustrate
My last remark
Jonah and the whale, Noah and the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
What did they do!
Man, they said we better ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Elim-inate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
I got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And elim-inate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative
And don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
It's quite a scene, you gotta
Spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
And have faith, or pandemonium
Is liable to walk upon the sea
To illustrate
My last remark
Jonah and the whale, Noah and the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said we gotta ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Elim-inate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
Eli-minate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum, and
Have faith, or pandemonium
Is liable to walk upon the sea
To illustrate
My last remark
Jonah and the whale, Noah and the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
What did they do!
Man, they said we better ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Elim-inate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
I got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And elim-inate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative
And don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
It's quite a scene, you gotta
Spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
And have faith, or pandemonium
Is liable to walk upon the sea
To illustrate
My last remark
Jonah and the whale, Noah and the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said we gotta ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Elim-inate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
