Accentuate The Positive/

Swingin' On a Star 'Live'

 

( Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, 

e-lim-inate the negative, 

ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, an' latch on! )

 

You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive,

E-lim-inate the negative,

An' latch on 

To the affirmative 

Don't mess with Mister in-between!

No,  don't mess with Mister in-between!

No,  don't mess with Mister in-between!

Or, would you rather be a duck?

 

( Would you like to swing on a star? ) On a star! 

Carry moonbeams home in a jar

You'd be better off than you are

You'd be much better than you are . . .

( You could be be swingin' on a star

You can be better than you are . . . )
