Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive Lyrics
[Hook: Bing Crosby]
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
[Chorus: Bing Crosby]
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
[Verse: The Andrews Sisters]
To illustrate
His last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
[Hook: Bing Crosby]
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 Mr. In-Between
No, do not mess with Mr. In-Between!
Do you hear me, hmm?
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
[Chorus: Bing Crosby]
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
[Verse: The Andrews Sisters]
To illustrate
His last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
[Hook: Bing Crosby]
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 Mr. In-Between
No, do not mess with Mr. In-Between!
Do you hear me, hmm?
[Bridge: The Andrews Sisters & Bing Crosby]
Oh, listen to me children and-uh you will hear
About eliminatin' of the negative and a' accent on a' positive!
And gather round me children if you will and...
And sit tight while I start reviewin' the attitude of doin' right
[Hook: The Andrews Sisters]
You gotta ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
[Chorus: The Andrews Sisters & Bing Crosby]
You got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Then
Otherwise, otherwise
Pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene
[Verse: The Andrews Sisters & Bing Crosby]
To illustrate well illustrate!
My last remark You got the floor
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say What did they say
Say, when everything looked so down?
Oh, listen to me children and-uh you will hear
About eliminatin' of the negative and a' accent on a' positive!
And gather round me children if you will and...
And sit tight while I start reviewin' the attitude of doin' right
[Hook: The Andrews Sisters]
You gotta ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
[Chorus: The Andrews Sisters & Bing Crosby]
You got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Then
Otherwise, otherwise
Pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene
[Verse: The Andrews Sisters & Bing Crosby]
To illustrate well illustrate!
My last remark You got the floor
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say What did they say
Say, when everything looked so down?
[Hook: The Andrews Sisters & Bing Crosby]
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 Mr. In-Between
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
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 Mr. In-Between
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between!
