Accentuate The Positive

Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen

You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

You've gotta spread joy up to the maximum
Bring pain down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Li'ble to walk upon the scene

You gotta think all
All things are possible
End all thought of the improbable
Having all really ain't that remarkable
After all it's all what you believe

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale
Noah in the Ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so down?

You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

It's how you think
All how you think about it

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale
Noah in the Ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so down?

Man, they said you gotta ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between
