Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive Songtext
von The Andrews Sisters

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 again

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 ac-cent-tchu-ate 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 ac-cent-tchu-ate 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-cent-tchu-ate the positive
(Yes, yes)
Eliminate the negative
(Yes, yes)
And latch on to the affirmative
(Yes, yes)
Don't mess with Mister In-between
No, don't mess with Mister In-between
