You gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
You gotta stretch high up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith, or pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate this last remark
You must allow yourself to fall apart
And when you do, you'll absorb something so dark
Just breathe it in, don't chicken out
Let it dig a hole deep inside your heart
And once you do, I'd like to see you throw it out

Then you gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
You gotta stretch high up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith, or pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene
So don't mess with Mister In-Between
