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

Jonah in the whale, Noah in The Ark

They said, "Man, you got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-between."
