1. Some things in life are bad. They can really make you mad. 

|Hm                     |E                              |A     |A 

Other things just make you swear and curse. 

                     |D                        |E                  |A                      |F#m 

When you're chewing on life's grizzle don't mumble, give a whistle 

     |Hm                        |D                     |E         |E 

and this'll make things turn out for the best, and

2. If life seems jolly rotten, it's something you've forgotten 

and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. 

When you're really in the dumps, don't be silly chumps. 

Just purch your lips and whistle, that's the thing. 

 

Refr. Always look on the bright side of life. (Vissling) 

Always look on the bright side of life. (Vissling) 

 

3. 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. 

 

Refr. Always look on the bright side of life. (Vissling) 

Always look on the bright side of life. (Vissling) 

 

4. Life's a piece of shit when you think of it. 

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. 

You see it's all a show. Keep'em laughing as you go. 

Remember that the last laugh is on you. 

 

Refr. Always look on the bright side of life. (Vissling)
