Eric Idle 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.

[whistling]

Always look on the light side of life.

[whistling]

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.

[whistling]

(Come on!)

Always look on the right side of life,

[whistling]

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,

[whistling]

Just before you draw your terminal breath.

[whistling]

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.

[whistling]

Always look on the right side of life.

[whistling]

(Come on, Brian! Cheer up!)

Always look on the bright side of life!

[whistling]

Always look on the bright side of life!

[whistling]

(Worse things happen at sea, you know!)

Always look on the bright side of life!

(I mean, what 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 bright side of life!

[whistling]

(Nothing will come from nothing. You know what they
say?)

Always look on the bright side of life!

(Cheer up, you old bugger! Come on, give us a grin!
There you are! See?)

[whistling]

(It's the end of the film. Incidentally, this record's
available in the foyer.)

Always look on the bright side of life!

(Some of us have got to live as well, you know.)

[whistling]

(Who do you think pays for all this rubbish?)

Always look on the bright side of life!

(They'll never make their money back, you know. I told
him.)

[whistling]

(I said to him, 'Bernie.' I said, 'They'll never make
their money back.')

Always look on the bright side of life!
