Barry Manilow - Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive lyrics
rate meGather '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
