[Eric Idle, Michael McGrath, Tim Curry - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life lyrics]
This is a total bloody disaster
All my knights have fled
And we're lost in a dark
And very expensive forest
Well, it could be worse!
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!
All my knights have fled
And we're lost in a dark
And very expensive forest
Well, it could be worse!
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
