Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And
[Verse 2]
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
[Verse 3]
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle
That's the thing
[Verse 4]
And always look on the bright side of life
Come on
Always look on the bright side of life
[Verse 5]
When you're in the World Cup
And all your hopes are up
And everybody wants your team to win
And they go and let you down
And come slinking back to town
It's time for this daft song to begin
[Verse 6]
So, always look on the bright side of life
Cheer up
Next time
Always look on the bright side of life
[Verse 7]
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow
[Verse 8]
So, always look on the bright side of death
And just before you draw your terminal breath
[Verse 9]
A life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
[Verse 10]
And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
Come on, cheer up
Always look on the bright side of life
