Gather 'round me, everybody
|
Gather 'round me while I'm preachin'
|
Feel a sermon comin' on me
|
The topic will be sin and that's what I'm ag'in'
|
If you wanna hear my story
|
The settle back and just sit tight
|
While I start reviewin'
|
The attitude of doin' right
|
|
You've got to accentuate the positive
|
Eliminate the negative
|
And latch on to the affirmative
|
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
|
|
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
|
Bring gloom down to the minimum
|
Have faith or pandemonium's
|
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 "We'd better accentuate the positive")
|
("Eliminate the negative")
|
("And latch on to the affirmative")
|
Don't mess with Mister In-Between (No!)
|
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
|
|
(Ya got to spread joy up to the maximum)
|
(Bring gloom down to the minimum)
|
(Have faith or pandemonium's)
|
(Liable to walk upon the scene)
|
|
You got to ac (yes, yes) -cent-tchu-ate the positive
|
Eliminate (yes, yes) the negative
|
And latch (yes, yes) on to the affirmative
|
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
|
No, don't mess with Mister In-Between
|
