Remember this dear all in writings:

Accentuate the Positive..Eliminate the Negative

....

The song:

ny Mercer/ Harold Arlen as first sung, I think, by Bing Crosby

..............

You've got to 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 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

Hey, Bob, that song really brings back some VERY, VERY old memories. I was 9

years old in 1944, but still remember the song. You are absolutely right about

applying it today!
