Accentuate the Positive - Dr. John

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 ag’in

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 accentuate 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, a pandemonium

Libel 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 accentuate the positive

Eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative

Don’t mess with mister in between, no

Don’t mess with mister in between»

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 accentuate the positive

Eliminate all the negative

Latch on to the affirmative

Don’t mess with mister in between, oh

Don’t mess with mister in between»

Don’t you ever mess with mister inbetween

Don’t you mess with mister inbetween

Don’t you mess with mister inbetween
