Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive

Gather 'round me, everybody

Gather 'round me, while I preach some

Feel a sermon comin' on here

The topic will be sin

& that's what I'm aging

If you wanna hear my story

Then settle back & just sit tight

While I start reviewin'

The attitude of doin' right

You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive

E-lim-i-nate the negative

& 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

& 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 everythin' looked so dark?

Man, they said, we better

Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive

E-lim-i-nate the negative

& latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with mister inbetween
