Accentuate the positive lyrics

Artist  : Perry como 
Song : Accentuate the positive
 

( Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive,  
e-lim-inate the negative,  
ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, an` latch on! ) 
  
You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive, 
E-lim-inate the negative, 
An` latch on  
To the affirmative  
Don`t mess with Mister in-between! 
  
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum, 
Bring gloom down to the minimum, 
An` have faith ( Amen! ) 
Or pandemonium`s 
Liable to walk upon the scene! 
  
To illustrate  
My last remark 
Jonah in the whale! 
Noah in the arc!  
An` what did they do  ( What did they do? ) 
Just when everything looked so dark?  
  
( What did they, what did they, what did they do?
) 
  
Man! they said 
You better accent-thu-ate the positive, 
E-lim-inate the negative, 
An` latch on  
To the affirmative  
Don`t mess with Mister in-between! 
No,  don`t mess with Mister in-between! 
  
( To illustrate  
His last remark 
Jonah in the whale! 
Noah in the arc! ) 
An` what did they do   
( What did they do?  
Just when everything looked so dark?  
What did they do, what did they do? ) 
  
Man! they said 
You better accent-thu-ate the positive, 
E-lim-inate the negative, 
An` latch on  
To the affirmative  
Don`t mess with Mister in-between! 
No,  don`t mess with Mister in-between! 
No,  don`t you mess with Mister in-between! 
No,  don`t mess with Mister in-between!
