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
