Good one , Brian . I ' d sing it with you . Some things in life are badThey can really make you madOther things just make you swear and curse . When you ' re chewing on life ' s gristleDon ' t grumble , give a whistleAnd this ' ll help things turn out for the best . And . always look on the bright side of life . Always look on the light side of life . If life seems jolly rottenThere ' s something you ' ve forgottenAnd that ' s to laugh and smile and dance and sing . When you ' re feeling in the dumpsDon ' t be silly chumpsJust purse your lips and whistle that ' s the thing . And . always look on the bright side of life . Always look on the light side of life . For life is quite absurdAnd death ' s the final wordYou must always face the curtain with a bow . Forget about your sin give the audience a grinEnjoy it it ' s your last chance anyhow . So always look on the bright side of deathJust before you draw your terminal breathLife ' s a piece of shitWhen you look at itLife ' s a laugh and death ' s a joke , it ' s true . You ' ll see it ' s all a showKeep ' em laughing as you goJust remember that the last laugh is on you . And always look on the bright side of life . Always look on the right side of life . Come on guys , 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 . Always look on the bright side of life . 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 of life .
