( ac-cent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, an' 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 they, what did they, what 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!
No, don'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 do, what 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!
No, don't mess with mister in-between!
No, don't you mess with mister in-between!
No, don't mess with mister in-between!
