Accentuate The Positive

Accentuate The Positive - Artie Shaw

Gather around me everybody gather around me

While I'm preachin'

Feel a sermon comin' on me

The topic will be sin and that's what I'm again

Settle back and just sit tight

Got back same

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

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

To at the positive eliminate the negative latch

On to the affirmative don't mess with mister in between no

Don't mess with mister in between

To illustrate

Those last remarks

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 latch on to the affirmative

Don't mess with mister in between

No don't mess with mister in between
