Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive/get Happy Lyrics - Singles - Maureen Mcgovern

You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive 

And e-lim-i-nate the negative 

And latch on to the affirmative 

Don't mess with mister in-between 

You got to spread joy up to the maximum 

And bring gloom down to the minimum 

And have faith or pandemonium's 

Liable to walk upon 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? 

Man, they said we better 

Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive 

And e-lim-i-nate that negative 

Latch on to the affirmative 

Don't mess with mister in-between 

'Cause we're headin' 'cross the river, 

Wash our sins away in the tide 

It's all so peaceful 

On the other side 

Forget your troubles and just get happy 

Ya better chase all your cares away 

Sing Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy 

Get ready for the judgment day 

The sun is shinin', c'mon, get happy 

The Lord is waitin' to take your hand 

Shout Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy 

We're goin' to the Promised Land 

'Cause we're headin' 'cross the river, 

Wash our sins away in the tide 

It's all so peaceful 

On the other side 

Forget your troubles and just get happy 

Ya better chase all your cares away 

Shout Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy 

Get ready for the judgment day 

Get ready for the judgment day 

Get ready for the judgment day
