I keep getting so many messages from friends who have parts of their body breaking or falling off or being operated on or simply hurting badly, that from now I simply send them the link to this song. I want this played at my funeral; and anyone who doesn't whistle along, well, I'll never speak to them again, so try it now.
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
If life seems jolly rotten
Always look on the bright side of life
For life is quite absurd
So always look on the bright side of death
Life's a piece of shit
Always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life
I mean, what have you got to lose? Always look on the right side of life
Nothing will come from nothing, ya know what they say
Some of us got to live as well, you know |
In extreme cases, I am prepared to send them my copy of Eric Idle's "Sortabiography", which only cost me two dollars at the local Vinnies shop. I almost didn't get it as I walked out having left it on the shelf.
Always looking on the bright side of life, I thought to myself it'll still be there next time I visited Vinnies, and sure enough, six days later there it was, still in the same spot I had left it. Who said life is a piece of shit?
If none of this helps, and even Lifeline puts you on hold with a recorded message of this song, try this Korean version, courtesy of Kim Jong Un.
There ya are, see? Keep it in mind next time you're chewing on life's gristle.
