Heywood “Woody” Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg; December 1, 1935) is an American filmmaker, writer, actor, comedian, and musician whose career spans more than six decades. He worked as a comedy writer in the 1950s, writing jokes and scripts for television and publishing several books of short humor pieces. In the early 1960s, Allen began performing as a stand-up comedian, emphasizing monologues rather than traditional jokes. As a comedian, he developed the persona of an insecure, intellectual, fretful nebbish, which he maintains is quite different from his real-life personality. In 2004, Comedy Central ranked Allen in fourth place on a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians, while a UK survey ranked Allen as the third greatest comedian.
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 laughin’ 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, ya know what they say Cheer up ya old bugga c’mon give us a grin (Always look on the right side of life) There ya are, see It’s the end of the film Incidentally this record’s available in the foyer (Always look on the right side of life)
Some of us got to live as well, you know (Always look on the right side of life) Who do you think pays for all this rubbish (Always look on the right side of life) They’re not gonna make their money back, you know I told them, I said to him, Bernie, I said they’ll never make their money back (Always look on the right side of life)
