Nellie McKay - Accentuate the Positive lyrics
[Nellie McKay - Accentuate the Positive lyrics]
You've got to accent tuate the positive
Elim-minate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in-Between
You 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 and the whale noah and the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said, we'd better
Accent tuate the positive
Elim-minate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in-Between
No, don't mess with Mr in-Between
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah and the whale noah and the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said, we'd better
A-a-a-h-ccentuate the positive
Elim-minate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in-Between
No, don't mess with Mr in-Between nice hat!
Elim-minate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in-Between
You 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 and the whale noah and the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said, we'd better
Accent tuate the positive
Elim-minate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in-Between
No, don't mess with Mr in-Between
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah and the whale noah and the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said, we'd better
A-a-a-h-ccentuate the positive
Elim-minate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in-Between
No, don't mess with Mr in-Between nice hat!
