Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive Lyrics by Sam Cooke

Encore / Songs by Sam Cooke (debut album)

0

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
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
Libel to walk up on 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
They said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with mister in-between
But 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
Don't mess, don't mess, don't mess
With mister in-between
With mister in-between
