Here Come The WAVES
1945
VERSE
Gather 'round me,
Ev'rybody,
Gather 'round me,
While I preach some.
Feel a sermon
Comin' on me --
The topic will be sin,
And that's what I'm, agin'.
If you wanna
Hear my story,
Then settle back
And just sit tight
While I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right.
REFRAIN
You've go to
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive,
E-lim-mi-nate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative--
Dont mess with Mister In-Between!
REFRAIN
You've got to
Spread joy up to the maximum,
Bring gloom down to the minimum,
Have faith or pandemonium
Li'ble to walk upon the scene!
BRIDGE
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,
REFRAIN
"We better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive,
E-lim-mi-nate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative,
Don't mess with Mister In-Between.
No! Don't mess with Mister In-Between.
