Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

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 wistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best

And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
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!
And...always look on the bright side of life

Come on!
Always look on the right side of life
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!

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
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!
And always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
