Lyrics:
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
