Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive - Ella Mae Morse

作词：Johnny Mercer/Harold Arlen

作曲：Johnny Mercer/Harold Arlen

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

You got to ac cent tchu ate the positive

Eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

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 pandemoniums

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

Don't mess with mister in between

Don't mess with mister in between

Don't mess with mister in between
