Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive

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
