Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life - Monty Python, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin

Oh, how could it possibly be worse?

Oh, cheer up, sire!

You know what they say

What do they say, Patsy?

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 right side of life

You give it a try!

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

Always look on the right side of life

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 bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life

(dance sequence)

Always look on the bright side of life!

Always look on the bright side of life!

Always look on the bright side of life!

Always look on the bright side of life!

For life is quite absurd

And death’s the final word

You must always face the curtain with a bow

Excuse me — is that a shrubbery?

Oh, yes, I’m throwing it out.

The cat won’t leave it alone

What a stroke of luck!

I’ll take it off your hands.

Pay the lady, Patsy!

Always look on the bright side of life!

Always look on the bright side of life!

Side of life!

Side of life!
