Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive (feat. Paul Weston & His Orchestra)

[Overture]

Gather around me

Everybody

Gather around me

While I preach some

Feel the sermon

Coming on me

The topic will be sin

And that was I'm against

If you wanna hear my story

Then settle back and just sit tight

While I start reviewing

The attitude of doing right

[Main verse]

You've got to accent-uate 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 my 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, 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

You've got to accent-uate 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!
