(following verses not included with lyrical insert:)
Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad --
other things can 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
always look on the bright side of life

Life is quite absurd, and death's the final word --
we 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 --

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 can 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
