"Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive" lyrics - JENNIFER HUDSON

[Chorus:]
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-li-mi-nate the negative
And hang on to the affirmative
But don't mess with Mr. In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
And bring gloom down to the minimum
And have faith, or pandemonium
Is liable to walk upon the scene

[Pre-Chorus:]
To illustrate our last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
Tell me, what did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they say, you've got to

[Chorus:]
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-li-mi-nate the negative
And hang on to the affirmative
But don't mess with Mr. In-Between

[Pre-Chorus:]
To illustrate our last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
Tell me, what did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they say, you've got to

[Chorus:]
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-li-mi-nate the negative
And hang on to the affirmative
But don't mess with Mr. In-Between

[Outro:]
No, no, no, don't mess
I say, I say don't mess
You better not
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
