Lyrics Accentuate the Positive - Artie Shaw
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
ag'in'
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
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's
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
(Ya
got
to
spread
joy
up
to
the
maximum)
(Bring
gloom
down
to
the
minimum)
(Have
faith
or
pandemonium's)
(Liable
to
walk
upon
the
scene)
You
got
to
ac
(yes,
yes)
-cent-tchu-ate
the
positive
Eliminate
(yes,
yes)
the
negative
And
latch
(yes,
yes)
on
to
the
affirmative
Don't
mess
with
mister
in-between
No,
don't
mess
with
mister
in-between
