Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive

Latch on to the affirmative
Latch on to the affirmative
Accentuate the positive
Feel a sermon coming on here
What did they do, just when everything looked so dark?
What did they do, just when everything looked so dark?
If you wanna hear my story
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between
No, don't mess with mister in between

Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
The attitude of doing right
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
While I start reviewing
Man, they said, we better
Have faith, or pandemonium
To illustrate my last remark
Don't mess with mister in between
You got to spread joy up to the maximum

Don't mess with mister in between

Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Man, they said, we better
Bring gloom down to the minimum

Eliminate the negative
Eliminate the negative
The topic will be sin and that's what I'm again
To illustrate my last remark
You've got to accentuate the positive
Liable to walk upon the scene

Then settle back and just sit tight
