Monty Python - Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life Lyrics

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...

...always look on the bright side

of life...

(Whistle)

Always look on the light side

of life...

(Whistle)

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...

(Whistle)

Come on.

Always look on the right side

of life...

(Whistle)

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...

(Whistle)

a-Just before you draw your terminal breath...

(Whistle)

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 its all a show, keep 'em laughin as you go

Just remember that the last laugh is on you

And...

Always look on the bright side

of life...

(Whistle)

Always look on the right side

of life...

C'mon Brian, cheer up

Always look on the bright side

of life...

Always look on the bright side

of life...

Worse things happen at sea you know.

I mean - what have you got to lose?

You know, you come from nothing

- you're going back to nothing.

What have you lost? Nothing.

Always look on the right side

(I mean) of life...

what have you got to lose?

You know, you come from nothing

- you're going back to nothing.

What have you lost?

Always (Nothing.) look on the right side of life...

Nothing will come from nothing ya know what they say?

Cheer up ya old bugga c'mon give us a grin!

There ya go, see!

Always look on the right side of life...

(Cheer up ya old bugga c'mon give us a grin! At same time)

There ya go, see!
