Lyrics:

Wee-ooh (doop, doop) wee-ooh (doop) wee-ooh (doop)
Wee-ooh (doop, doop) wee-ooh (doop) wee-ee-ooh
You've got to accentuate the positive, and
Eliminate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative, and
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum, and
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 you better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative, and
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, now don't mess with Mr. In-Between

Now listen to me children, and you will hear
About eliminating the negative and accenting that positive
Now gather 'round me children if you're willing
And sit tight while I start reviewing the attitude of doing it right
You've got to accentuate the positive, and
Eliminate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative, and
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum, and
Then (otherwise) otherwise
Pandemonium is liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate, to illustrate
My last remark, you've got the floor
Jonah (Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark)
What did they say? What did they say?
When everything looked so dark?
Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive, and
Eliminate the negative, and
Latch on to the affirmative, and
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between
