The Gompie version of the song, 'Alice Who The X Is Alice' was an unlikely #1 chart topper in The Netherlands in 1995. Koelewijn recorded an Ajax version of the song when AFC Ajax won the UEFA Champions League a couple of months later: 'Who The F**K is Bayern, Hajduk en Milan'.
ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE
Gompie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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...
of life...
(Whistle)
Always look on the light side
of life...
(Whistle)
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...
(Whistle)
Come on.
Always look on the right side
of life...
(Whistle)
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.
