Ella Fitzgerald
앨범 : The Harold Arlen Songbook Vol.1 & Vol.2 (Digitally Remastered)

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 again
If you wanna hear my story
Then settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewing
The attitude of doing right
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in between
You 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 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
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
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
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
