Gather 'round me, everybody
   Gather 'round me, while I preach some
   Feel a sermon coming on here
   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 reviewing
   The attitude of doing right
   You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
   E-lim-i-nate the negative
   And latch on to the affirmative
   Don't mess with mister inbetween
   You got to spread joy up to the maximum
   Bring gloom down to the minimum
   And have faith, or pandemonium
   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
   E-lim-i-nate the negative
   And latch on to the affirmative
   Don't mess with mister inbetween
