“Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive” Lyrics
Bing Crosby:
You’ve got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
You’ve got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
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
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium’s
Liable to walk upon the scene
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?
To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do just when everything looked so dark?
Bing Crosby:
Man, they said “We’d better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between”
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do ya hear me hmmm?
Man, they said “We’d better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between”
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do ya hear me hmmm?
Andrews Sisters:
Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the ‘liminating of the negative
And the actin’ on the positive
Bing Crosby:
Gather ’round me, children
If you’re willin’
If you’re willin’
And sit tight
While I start reviewin’
The attitude of doing right
While I start reviewin’
The attitude of doing right
Andrews Sisters and Bing Crosby:
You’ve gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
Eliminate the negative
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
Otherwise pandemonium’s
Liable to walk upon the scene
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Otherwise pandemonium’s
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say just when everything looked so dark?
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said “We’d better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between”
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between”
No, don’t mess with Mister In-Between
