[Verse 1]
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things can 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
[Chorus]
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
[Verse 3]
Life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
We 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
[Chorus]
Always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
[Verse 4]
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true
You can see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you, and
[Chorus]
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
