You've got to ac - cen - tu - ate 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 min imum
Have faith or pandemon um's
Li'ble to walk upon the scene
Bridge
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark.
What did they do just when ev'rything looked so dark
Man, they said "We'd better ac - cen - tu - ate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between, no, no
Don't mess with Mister In-Between"
