Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life Lyrics - Bruce Cockburn

Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say. 

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 bright 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 bright 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 the 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! 

And always look on the bright side of life 

Always look on the bright side of life

Come on guys, cheer up 

Always look on the bright side of life 

Always look on the bright side of life 

Worse things happen at sea you know 

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 bright side of life
