Maureen Mcgovern - Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive/get Happy lyrics

You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive And e-lim-i-nate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister in-between You got to spread joy up to the maximum And bring gloom down to the minimum And have faith or pandemonium's 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 Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive And e-lim-i-nate that negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister in-between 'Cause we're headin' 'cross the river, Wash our sins away in the tide It's all so peaceful On the other side Forget your troubles and just get happy Ya better chase all your cares away Sing Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy Get ready for the judgment day The sun is shinin', c'mon, get happy The Lord is waitin' to take your hand Shout Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy We're goin' to the Promised Land 'Cause we're headin' 'cross the river, Wash our sins away in the tide It's all so peaceful On the other side Forget your troubles and just get happy Ya better chase all your cares away Shout Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy Get ready for the judgment day Get ready for the judgment day Get ready for the judgment day
