Bing Crosby And The Andrews Sisters Accentuate The Positive Lyrics

Accentuate The Positive Lyrics



Gather 'round me, everybody
Gather 'round
me while I'm preachin'
Feel a sermon comin' on me
The topic will be sin
and that's what I'm ag'in'
If you wanna hear my story
The settle back and
just sit tight
While I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin'
right



You've got to accentuate the
positive
Eliminate the negative
And 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'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'd better accentuate the
positive")
("Eliminate the negative")
("And latch on to the
affirmative")
Don't mess with Mister In-Between (No!)
Don't mess with
Mister In-Between

(Ya got to spread joy up to the maximum) 
(Bring gloom down to the minimum) 
(Have faith or pandemonium's)
(Liable to walk
upon the scene)

You got to ac (yes, yes) -cent-tchu-ate the
positive
Eliminate (yes, yes) the negative
And latch (yes, yes) on to the
affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, don't mess with Mister
In-Between
