Accentuate The Positive - Van Morrison
Lyrics by:Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer
Composed by:Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer
You got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in between
You 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 shut up this last remark shut up
Jonah in the whale noah in the ark
What did they do shut up
When everything just looked dark
They said man you got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in between
You got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in between
You 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 his last remark
Shut up
Jonah in the whale noah in the ark
What did they do shut up everything just looked dark
They said you got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in between
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in between
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in between
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr in between
