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  
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

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 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

Always look on the right side of life

Always look on the bright side of life  
Always look on the bright side of life
