Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive Lyrics by Barry Manilow

Night Songs

2014

You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-lim-i-nate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between
You got to spread joy up to the maximum
And bring gloom down to the minimum
And 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, you got to
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-lim-i-nate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between
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, you got to
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-lim-i-nate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between
No, don't mess with mister in-between
No, don't mess with mister in-between
Spread joy
