You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative
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 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 accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

No, don't mess with Mister In-Between!
Oh yeah!

I'm fine
