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
