Perry Como - Accentuate The Positive lyrics

( ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, E-lim-inate the negative, Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, an' latch on! ) You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive, E-lim-inate the negative, An' latch on To the affirmative Don't mess with mister in-between! You gotta spread joy up to the maximum, Bring gloom down to the minimum, An' have faith ( amen! ) Or pandemonium's Liable to walk upon the scene! To illustrate My last remark Jonah in the whale! Noah in the arc! An' what did they do ( what did they do? ) Just when everything looked so dark? ( what did they, what did they, what did they do? ) Man! they said You better accent-thu-ate the positive, E-lim-inate the negative, An' latch on To the affirmative Don't mess with mister in-between! No, don't mess with mister in-between! ( to illustrate His last remark Jonah in the whale! Noah in the arc! ) An' what did they do ( what did they do? Just when everything looked so dark? What did they do, what did they do? ) Man! they said You better accent-thu-ate the positive, E-lim-inate the negative, An' latch on To the affirmative Don't mess with mister in-between! No, don't mess with mister in-between! No, don't you mess with mister in-between! No, don't mess with mister in-between!
