You've got to accentuate the positive eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmitive But don't mess with mister inbetween You've got to spread joy up to the maximum Bring gloom down to the minumum have faith, a pandemonium Rivel to walk up on the scene To illustrate my last remark Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the arc What did they do just when everything looked so dark They said we better accentuate the positive eliminate the negative latch on to the affimitive But don't mess with mister inbetween [One more Time] To illustrate my last remark Jonah in the whale, Noah in the arc What did they do just when everything looked so dark don't mess, don't mess, don't mess with mister inbetween (this verse twice)
