Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive

Gather around me, everybody
 Gather around me while I preach some
 We've a sermon, coming on me
 The topic will be sin
 And that is what I'm agin
 If you want to hear my story
 Then settle back and just sit tight
 While I start reviewing
 Attitude of doing right.
 You've got to accentuate the positive
 Eliminate the negative
 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
 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, accentuate the positive
 Eliminate the negative
 Latch on to the affirmative
 Don't mess with Mister In-Between
 No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
 Do you hear me?
 Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
 About the elininatin' of the negative
 And the accent on the positive
 And gather 'round me children if you're willin'
 And sit tight while I start reviewin'
 The attitude of doin' right
 You've gotta accentuate the positive
 Eliminate the negative
 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
 Otherwise pandemonium
 Liable to walk upon the scene
 To illustrate my last remark
 Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
 What did they say
 Say when everything looked so dark
 Man, they said we better accentuate the positive
 Eliminate the negative
 Latch on to the affirmative
 Don't mess with Mister In-Between
 No, don't mess with Mister In-Between
