2.Accentuate The Positive

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen

You've gotta accent-tcu-ate the positive, eli-my-nate the
negative,
Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between.
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the
minimum.
Have faith or pandemonium's li'ble to walk upon the scene.

To illustrate my last remark, Jonah in the whale, Noah in the
Ark,
What did theyou do just when everything looked so dark,
Man, they said we better
Accent-tchu-ate the positive, elim-my-nate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between,
Don't mess with Mister In-between.
