Letras de Accentuate the Positive

Gather ′round me everybody
Gather 'round me while I preach some
There′s a sermon coming on me
The subject will be sin and that's what I'm again
And if you wanna hear my story
Then settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewing the attitude of doing right

You gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
And don′t mess with Mr. In-Between

You gotta spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
And have faith or pandemonium
Is 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?
Man, they said

You gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
But don′t you mess with Mr. In-Between

Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
Leave him alone (Leave him alone)
He′s gone (He's gone, he′s gone, he's gone)

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
Hey, what did they do just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said

We better accentuate the positive
And eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
And don′t you mess with Mr. In-Between

(Don't mess with Mr. In-Between)
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between
(Don′t mess around with Mr. In-Between)
No, no, don′t mess with Mr. In-Between
Don't you mess with Mr. In-Between
Leave him alone
