Jennifer Hudson
Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive
[Chorus]
You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-li-min-ate the negative
And hang on to the affirmative
But don't mess with Mr. In-Between, uh
You 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?

[Chorus]
Man, they say you got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-li-min-ate the nеgative
And hang on to the affirmative
But don't mеss with Mr. In-Between

[Pre-Chorus]
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
Tell me, what did they do
Just when everything, everything looked so dark?
[Chorus]
Man, they say you got to ac-cent-oh-ate the positive
And e-li-min-ate the negative
And hang on to the affirmative
But don't mess, don't mess with Mr. In-Between

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