Johnny Mercer Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive Lyrics

Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive Lyrics

Gather 'round me, everybody
Gather 'round me, while I preach some
Feel a
sermon coming on here
The topic will be sin
And that's what I'm
agin'
If you wanna hear my story
Then settle back and just sit
tight
While I start reviewing
The attitude of doing right

You got
to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
And latch on
to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister inbetween

You got to spread
joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
And have faith, or
pandemonium
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
E-lim-i-nate the negative
And latch on to the
affirmative
Don't mess with mister inbetween

No don't mess with
mister inbetween

You got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom
down to the minimum
And have faith, or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon
the scene

You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the
negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister
inbetween

No don't mess with mister inbetween
