Lyrics

Cheer up, brian. you know what they say
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..

(The music fades into the song)

...Always look on the bright side of life!
(Whistle)

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..

(Whistle)
Come on!

(Other start to join in)
Always look on the bright 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 the 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
(Whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life
(Whistle)
