You've got to
accentuate the positive feeling
Manate the negative and
latch on to the affirmative
But 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, a 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?
And they said we'd better accentuate the positive,
eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative,
but don't mess with
Mr.
Inbetween
You've got to ac cen tu
ate the positive even
Manate the negative and latch
on to the affirmative
But don't mess with
Mr.
In -Between
You've got to spread your
jaw to the maximum
Bring you down to the minimum
Have faith, a pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Joel and the whale,
Noah and the ark
What did they do just when everything
looks so dark?
Man, they said we'd better
accentuate the positive
And even ate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with
Mr.
Inbetween
No, don't mess with
Mr.
Inbetween
One more time,
to illustrate my last remark
Joel and the whale,
Noah and the ark
What did they do just when
everything looked so dark?
And they said we better accen
tu ate the positive
And eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with
Mr.
Inbetween
No, no mess, no mess
No, no mess with
Mr.
In -Between
One more once,
to illustrate my last remark
Jonah and the whale,
Noah and the harp
What did they do just when
everything looks so dark?
And they said we'd better
accen tuate the positive
And even eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with
Mr.
Inbetween
No, no, no, don't mess
Don't mess
No
Long as the whiskey's sweet
