Perry Como - Accentuate The Positive lyrics

( ac-cent-thu-ate the positive

E-lim-inate the negative

Ac-cent-thu-ate the positivean' 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 theywhat did theywhat 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!

Nodon'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 dowhat 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!

Nodon't mess with mister in-between!

Nodon't you mess with mister in-between!

Nodon't mess with mister in-between!
