Willie nelson accentuate the positive lyrics

You've got to accentuate the positive 

eliminate the negative

And 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 the minimum

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

They said you've got to accentuate...



[ guitar ]



To illustrate my last remark...

They said you've got to accentuate...

Don't mess with Mister In-Between
