Accentuate The Positive
Gather around me, every body,
Gather around me while I preach some,
Got a sermon coming on me. The topic will be sin cause that's what I'm against
If you wanna hear my story, then settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewing the additude of doing right.You better do right.
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive, e-lim-my-nate the negative,
And latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between.
You better spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimum,
Have faith, or pandemonium li'ble to walk upon the scene.
To illustrate my last remark
John in the whale
Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark
They said We'd better accentuate the positive
