Eric Idle - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life lyrics

[ARTHUR, spoken] This is a total bloody disaster. All my knights have fled, and we're lost in a dark and very expensive forest [PATSY, spoken] Well, it could be worse! [ARTHUR, spoken] Oh, how could it possibly be worse? [PATSY, spoken] Oh, cheer up, sire! You know what they say [ARTHUR, spoken] 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 (spoken) You give it a try! (sung) 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 - [COMPANY] Always look on the bright side of life Always look on the right side of life [PATSY] For life is quite absurd And d**h'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 - [ARTHUR] Always look on the bright side of d**h Just before you draw your terminal breath Life's a piece of sh** When you look at it Life's a laugh and d**h's a joke, it's true [PATSY] You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughing as you go [ARTHUR] Just remember that the last laugh is on you [COMPANY] 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! [PATSY, ARTHUR] For life is quite absurd And d**h's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow [ARTHUR, spoken] Excuse me - is that a shrubbery? [WOMAN] Oh, yes, I'm throwing it out. The cat won't leave it alone [ARTHUR, spoken] What a stroke of luck! I'll take it off your hands. Pay the lady, Patsy! [PATSY, ARTHUR] Always look on the bright side of life! Always look on the bright side of life! Side of life! Side of life!
