Accentuate The Positive

You've got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative, and don't mess with Mister In-Between.
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimum,
and have faith or pandemonium is liable to walk upon the scene.

To illustrate my last remark, Jonah and the whale, Noah and the ark.
What did they do…just when everything looked so dark? Well...
You've got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative,
And don't mess with Mister In-Between.

Repeat last verse, and add: No, no, no, don't mess with Mister In-Between!
