文本歌词

Brother and sister be seated
Gather 'round me everybody
Gather 'round me while I'm preachin'
Feel a sermon
Comin' on me
The topic will be sin and that's what I'm again
If you wanna hear my story
Then settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or 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 they said we'd better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between no
Don't mess with mister in between
Man they said we'd better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between
Ya got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or 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 they said we'd better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between no
Don't mess with mister in between
You got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between
No don't mess with mister in between
