Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries of humorless wisdom, along came a Cosmic Clown. “Yes Life!” was his motto. What’s yours?
If you’re still wondering, here is some inspiration.
We always like an extra little wink in the direction of elevating circumstances and influences here at WPL ~ so here are the lyrics to an oldie but goodie for a little Yes Life! pick me up whenever you need it. Heeeerrrrreeeee it goes, courtesy of our Master Mascot Mr. G and Dr. Cow! He is our Moosic Man after all! Look up Johnny Mercer on Youtube for the sound effects https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3jdbFOidds . Listen under Look Listen on main menu too. DO IT YOU WILL LOVE IT!! But here are the lyrics that you can study and make your own.
“Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive”
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?
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 to the minimum
Otherwise pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
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
– Johnny Mercer
