Ella Fitzgerald - Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive Lyrics

Lyrics Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive - Ella Fitzgerald feat. Billy May and His Orchestra



Gather 'round me, everybody
Gather 'round me while I preach some
Feel a sermon comin' on me
The topic will be sin
And that's what I'm agin
If you wanna hear my story
Then settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewing
The attitude of doing right
You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister inbetween
You 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 better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister inbetween
No, don't mess with mister inbetween
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in a whale
Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark
Man, they said, we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister inbetween
No don't mess with mister inbetween
