Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive

(album: RESPECT - 2021)

You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive and
E-li-mi-nate the negative and
Hang on to the affirmative
But don't mess with Mr. In-between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum and
Bring gloom down to the minimum and
Have faith or pandemonium
Is liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate, our last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
Tell me what did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?

Man, they say you've got to
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive and
E-li-mi-nate the negative and
Hang on to the affirmative
But don't mess with Mr. In-between

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
Tell me what did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?

Man, they say you've got to
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive and
E-li-mi-nate the negative and
Hang on to the affirmative
But don't mess, don't mess with Mr. In-between
No, no, no don't mess
I say, I say don't mess
You better not
Don't mess with Mr. In-between
