Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad,
And 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, so
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 for gotten,
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, so
Always look on the bright side of
Life ... ... ... ...
Always look on the light 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 take your terminal
Breathe ... ... ... ...
Life's a piece of shit when you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You see it's all a show, keep them laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you, so
(repeat and fade)
Always look on the bright side of
Life ... ... ... ...
Always look on the light side of
Life ... ... ... ...
