From the Motion Picture
Lyric by Johnny Mercer
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Refrain
YOU’VE GOT TO AC-CENT-TCHU-ATE THE POSITIVE,
E-LIM-MY-NATE 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 THE MINIMUM,
HAVE FAITH OR PANDEMONIUM.....
LIABLE TO WALK UP ON THE SCENE,
TO ILLUSTRATE MY LAST REMARK,
JONAH IN THE WHALE, NOAH IN THE ARK,
WHAT DID THEY DO
JUST WHEN EV’RYTHING LOOKED SO DARK?
“MAN” THEY SAID:
WE BETTER AC-CENT-TCHU-ATE THE POSITIVE,
E-LIM-MY-NATE THE NEGATIVE,
LATCH ON TO THE AFFIRMATIVE,
DON’T MESS WITH MISTER IN-BETWEEN,
(Repeat Refrain)
Tag
NO! DON’T MESS WITH MISTER IN-BETWEEN.
“Here Come The Waves”
AC-CENT-TCHU-ATE
THE POSITIVE
(MISTER IN-BETWEEN)
