The Andrew Sisters & Bing Crosby-Accentuate The Positive

Bing Crosby - Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive

Words by Johnny Mercer and music by Harold Arlen.

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the afirrmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

(To illustrate his 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
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me, hmm?

(Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the elininatin' of the negative
And the accent on the positive)
And gather 'round me children if you're willin'
And sit tight while I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right

(You've gotta 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) down to the minimum
Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate (well illustrate) my last remark (you got the floor)
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say (what did they say)
Say when everything looked so dark

Man, 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

Accentuate The Positive

Acentuar o positivo

You've got to accentuate the positive Você tem que acentuar o positivo
eliminate the negative eliminar o negativo
Latch on to the affirmitive Trava para o afirmitivo
But don't mess with mister in between Mas não mexa com senhor

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum Você tem que espalhar alegria até o máximo
Bring gloom down to the minumum Trazer tristeza para baixo para o Mínimo
have faith, a pandemonium ter fé, um pandemônio
Libel to walk up on the scene caluniar a andar em cima da cena

To illustrate my last remark Para ilustrar o meu último comentário
Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the arc Jonas na baleia, Noah no arco
What did they do O que eles fizeram
just when everything looked so dark justamente quando tudo parecia tão escuro

They said we better Eles disseram que é melhor
accentuate the positive acentuar o positivo
eliminate the negative eliminar o negativo
latch on to the affimitive trava para o afiraitivo
But don't mess with mister inbetween Mas não mexa com senhor

[One more Time] [One More Time]

To illustrate my last remark Para ilustrar o meu último comentário
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the arc Jonas na baleia, Noah no arco
What did they do O que eles fizeram
just when everything looked so dark justamente quando tudo parecia tão escuro
don't mess, don't mess, don't mess não mexa, não mexa, não mexa
with mister inbetween com senhor

(this verse twice) (Este verso duas vezes)
