Gather round me,
every body
Gather round
me while I preach
some feel a sermon coming on me
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 got a accent, chew it,
the positive healing
Money, the negative,
latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In -Between
You gotta spread joy up
to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
I have faith all pandemoniums
Are 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'd
better accentuate the positive,
heal him, manatee the negative,
latch on to the affirmative,
don't mess with Mr. In -Between.
You've got to accentuate the positive
Healing underneath the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. Inbetween
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 wheel, Noah in the ark
What did they do,
just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said you better
accentuate the positive
He's them,
mine ain't the negative
Let's on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In -Between
Don't, don't mess with
Mr. In -Between
Don't mess around with
Mr. In -Between
Don't mess with Mr. In -Between
He's a mess, don't mess with him
Don't mess around with Mr. In -Between
