Accentuate The Positive
Aretha Franklin
You've got to accentuate the positive
And eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
And bring gloom down to the minimum
And 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've got to
Accentuate the positive
And eliminate the negative
And hang on to that affirmative
But don't mess with Mr. In-Between
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
Tell me, what did they do ?
Just when everything, everything looked so dark
Man, they said we've got to
Accentuate the positive
And eliminate the negative
And hang on to that affirmative
But don't mess, don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No no no don't mess.
Oh, baby I said don't mess
You better don't mess with Mr. In-Between
