you've got to accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
and latch on to the affirmative
but don't mess with mister in between
you've got to spread joy
up to the maximum
bring gloom down to the minimum and have faith
pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene
to illustrate my last remark
jonah in the whale
noah in the ark
what did they do just when everything looked so dark
man
and then you said you better accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
and latch on to the affirmative
but don't mess with mister in between
to illustrate my last remark
jonah in the world noah in the ark
what did they do just when everything i look so dark
man and then you said we better accentuate the positive
he live the negative
and latch on to the affirmative
don't mess with mister in between
you got to spread joy
you got to spread joy
but i don't mess with mister in between
no i don't mess with mister in between
