Gather 'round me everybody

Gather 'round me while I preach some

Feel a sermon comin' on me

The topic will be sin and that's what I'm again

If you wanna hear the story

Then settle back and just sit tight

While I start reviewin'

The attitude of doin' right

You've got to accenttchuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mister InBetween

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 my last remark

Jonah in the whale Noah in the ark

What did they do

What did they do just when

Everything looked so dark

Man I said we'd better

Accenttchuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mister InBetween

No

Don't mess with Mister InBetween

Man I said we'd better

Accenttchuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with Mister InBetween

No

Accenttchuate

Eliminate

Latch on catch on with me

Don't mess with Mister InBetween
