Lyrics:

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

I said you've got to accentuate...

[ guitar ]

To illustrate my last remark...

I said you've got to accentuate...

Don't mess with Mister In-Between
