Sherry sent the following, saying it was one of her favorite songs:

You’ve got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And 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’s
Liable to walk upon the scene

- Words and Music by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer

While Kay Kayser performed it (as did Bing Crosby and others), the credit for the sentiment belongs to Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer.
