Lyrics Harry Nilsson

Harry Nilsson

Bright Side of Life

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 will help things turn out for the best

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the light side of life

If life seems Johnny 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, hey

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life

For life is quite absurd

And that'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

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 laughin' as you go

Just remember the last laugh is on you

And always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life

Always look on the bright side of life...

Look at it this way

You come from nothing and you go back to nothing

So what have you lost? Nothing!
