Always Look On the Bright Side of Life
John Du Prez & Eric Idle Lyrics

Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Encouraging Brian to have a positive outlook

Some things in life are bad,
Acknowledging that there are negative aspects in life

They can really make you mad.
Admitting that these things can provoke anger

Other things just make you swear and curse.
Acknowledging that some things can frustrate and upset

When you're chewing on life's gristle,
When faced with life's difficulties

Don't grumble, give a whistle!
Instead of complaining, find something to be positive about

And this'll help things turn out for the best
Having a positive attitude can improve situations

And

Always look on the bright side of life!
Stay optimistic no matter what

Always look on the bright side of life
Reinforcing the importance of maintaining a positive perspective

If life seems jolly rotten,
Even when life feels unpleasant

There's something you've forgotten!
Reminding that there's something important to remember

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
Finding joy in the midst of hardship

When you're feeling in the dumps,
When you're feeling down

Don't be silly chumps,
Don't act foolishly

Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
Just whistle to cheer yourself up

And always look on the bright side of life
Maintain a positive perspective

Come on!
Encouraging others to join in the positive mindset

Always look on the bright side of life
Continuing to emphasize the importance of positivity

For life is quite absurd,
Recognizing the absurdity of life

And death's the final word.
Acknowledging the certainty of death

You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Always face the end of life graciously

Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Don't dwell on past mistakes, instead make others happy

Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow!
Appreciate life, as it's the final opportunity

So always look on the bright side of death!
Even in the face of death, remain optimistic

Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Right before the end of life

Life's a piece of shit,
Acknowledging that life can be unpleasant

When you look at it.
When you really examine it

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
Understanding that life and death are both humorous in a way

You'll see it's all a show,
Realizing that life is like a performance

Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Continue making others laugh as you live

Just remember that the last laugh is on you!
However, remember that you have the final laugh in the end

And always look on the bright side of life
Maintaining a positive perspective no matter what

Always look on the bright side of life
Continuing to emphasize the importance of positivity

Come on guys, cheer up
Urging everyone to be in a better mood

Always look on the bright side of life
Stressing the importance of remaining positive

Always look on the bright side of life
Continuing to emphasize the importance of positivity

Worse things happen at sea you know
Reminding that there are worse situations in life

Always look on the bright side of life
Reiterating the need for optimism

I mean, what have you got to lose?
Questioning what negative consequences one could face

you know, you come from nothing
Reminding that we start with nothing

you're going back to nothing
Highlighting that we will eventually have nothing again

what have you lost? Nothing!
Asserting that there's truly nothing to lose

Always look on the bright side of life
Reinforcing the importance of maintaining a positive perspective
