Harold Arlen - Ac - Cent - Tchu - Ate The Positive lyrics

rate me

Gather 'round meeverybody

Gather 'round mewhile I preach some

Feel a sermon coming on here

The topic will be sin

And that's what I'm agin'

If you wanna hear my story

Then settle back and just sit tight

While I start reviewing

The attitude of doing right

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

E-lim-i-nate the negative

And 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

And have faithor pandemonium

Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark

Jonah in the whalenoah in the ark

What did they dojust when everything looked so dark?

Manthey saidwe better

Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive

E-lim-i-nate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with mister inbetween
