Dr. John - Accentuate the Positive lyrics

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 against 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
