The Positive lyrics

You ve got to accentuate 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 his 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, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me, hmm?

(Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the elininatin of the negative
And the accent on the positive)
And gather round me children if you re willin
And sit tight while I start reviewin
The attitude of doin right

(You ve gotta accentuate 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) down to the minimum
Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate (well illustrate) my last remark (you got the floor)
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say (what did they say)
Say 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
