ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive

gather around me

everybody gather around me

while i testify

i feel the summer coming on me

and the topic will be same

that's what i'm against

if you wanna hear my story then just chill out

don't be uptight while i review the attitude of doing right

you've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate 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 that minimum

have faith

or pandemonium

liable to walk up on the scene

to illustrate my last remark

talking about jonah in the whale

noah in the arc

what did they do

when everything looked so dark?

then they said

we better ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
