Píseň: Accentuate The Positive

Interpret:: Sam Cooke
Album:: Encore

You've got to accentuate the positive
 eliminate the negative
 Latch on to the affirmitive
 But don't mess with mister inbetween


 You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
 Bring gloom down to the minumum
 have faith, a pandemonium
 Libel 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 everything looked so dark


 They said we better
 accentuate the positive
 eliminate the negative
 latch on to the affimitive
 But don't mess with mister inbetween


 [One more Time]


 To illustrate my last remark
 Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
 What did they do
 just when everything looked so dark
 don't mess, don't mess, don't mess
 with mister inbetween


 (this verse twice)
