歌词
[Verse 1]
Ah, gather 'round me
Everybody gather 'round me
While I testify
[Verse 2]
I feel the summer
Comin' on me
And the topic will be the same
That's what I'm against
[Verse 3]
If you wanna hear my story
Then just chill out
Don't be uptight
While I review the attitude of doing right
[Verse 4]
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
[Verse 5]
You've got to spread joy, up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to that minimum
Have faith, a pandemonium
Libel to walk up on the scene
To illustrate my last remark
[Verse 6]
Talkin' 'bout Jonah in the whale
Noah in the ark
What did they do, when every thing looked so dark?
Then, they say
[Verse 7]
You better accentuate the positive
Eliminate that negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between, no
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
To illustrate my last remark
[Verse 8]
Can't by the Jonah in the whale
Noah in the ark
What did they do, when every thing looked so dark?
Man, they say
[Verse 9]
We better accentuate the positive
Eliminate all the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
[Verse 10]
Don't, don't mess with Mr. In-Between
Don't you mess with Mr. In-Between
Don't you mess with Mr. In-Between
Don't you mess with Mr. In-Between
