Always Look on the Bright Side.

Monty Python Song Named Top Funeral Choice

 

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” beats out Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” and Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” in new survey:

 

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is a comedy song written by Monty Python member Eric Idle that was first featured in the film Monty Python's Life of Brian and has gone on to become a common singalong at public events such as football matches as well as funerals

 

Lyrics:

 

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'll help things turn out for the best

 

And always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the light 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

Come on!

Always look on the right side of life

 

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

 

So, always look on the bright side of death

A-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 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 right side of life

 

C'mon Brian, cheer up!

 

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the bright side of life

 

Worse things happen at sea, you know

Always look on the bright side of life

 

I mean, what have you got to lose

You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing

What have you lost? Nothing!

 

Always look on the right side of life...

 

Nothing will come from nothing, you know what they say?

Cheer up you old bugger, c'mon give us a grin!

There you are, see, it's the end of the film

Incidentally, this record is available in the foyer

Some of us have to got live as well, you know

 

Who do you think pays for all this rubbish

They're not gonna make their money back, you know

I told them, I said to them, Bernie, I said they'll never make their money back
