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 my story

The 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 you 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

Talking about

Jonah in the whale and Noah in the ark

What did they do just when

Everything looked so dark

Man I said here's what he said we'd better

Accenttchuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't you mess with Mister InBetween

No

Don't you mess with Mister InBetween

Will you spread joy

And have faith or pandemonium is liable

To walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark

Jonah in the whale and Noah in the ark

What did they do

They looked so dark

Man you know here's what he said we got to

Accenttchuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

And latch on to the affirmative

Don't you mess with Mister InBetween

Don't you mess with Mister InBetween

No no

Don't you mess with Mister InBetween

Don't you no bother

Don't you mess with Mister InBetween
