ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE
(from the Monty Python movie "The life of Brian")

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...
(Music slides into the song)

...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 year lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And... always look on the bright side of life...
(Whistle)

Come on.
(Others 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 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 Iaughing 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)

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 get 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...
(Fade...)
