Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

 

 

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 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 And Always look on the bright side of life (Come on) 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 Adjust 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 laughin' as you go Just 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 (C'mon Brian, cheer up) Always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life 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 Nothing will come from nothing, ya know what they say Cheer up ya old bugga c'mon give us a grin (Always look on the right side of life) There ya are, see It's the end of the film Incidentally this record's available in the foyer (Always look on the right side of life) Some of us got to live as well, you know (Always look on the right side of life) Who do you think pays for all this rubbish (Always look on the right side of life) They're not gonna make their money back, you know I told them, I said to him, Bernie, I said they'll never make their money back (Always look on the right side of life)

 

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.
