Gather 'round me, everybody   Gather 'round me, while I preach some   Feel a sermon coming on here   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   And 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   And 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   And latch on to the affirmative   Don't mess with mister inbetween
