You've got to accentuate the positive
|
eliminate the negative
|
Latch on to the affirmative
|
But don't mess with mister inbetween
|
|
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
|
Bring gloom down to the minimum
|
have faith, a pandemonium
|
Libel to walk up on 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
|
|
They said we better
|
accentuate the positive
|
eliminate the negative
|
latch on to the affirmative
|
But don't mess with mister inbetween
|
|
[One more Time]
|
|
To illustrate my last remark
|
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
|
What did they do
|
just when everything looked so dark
|
don't mess, don't mess, don't mess
|
with mister inbetween
|
|
[this verse twice]
