Maureen Mcgovern – Ac-Cent lyrics

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
