Lyrics

Gather 'round me, everybody Gather 'round me while I preach some Feel a sermon comin' on me The topic will be sin And that's what I'm agin If you wanna hear my story Then settle back and just sit tight While I start reviewing The attitude of doing right You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween 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 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 Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween No, don't mess with mister inbetween To illustrate my last remark Jonah in a whale Noah in the ark What did they do Just when everything looked so dark Man, they said, we better Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween No don't mess with mister inbetween
