All Things Dull and Ugly (lyrics by Eric Idle<br />
tune: All Things Bright and Beautiful)<br />
All things dull and ugly,<br />
All creatures short and squat,<br />
All things rude and `orrible,,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lord God made the lot.<br />
Each little snake that poisons,<br />
Each little wasp that stings,<br />
He made their brutish venom,<br />
He made their nasty wings.<br />
All things sick and cancerous,<br />
All gross things great and small,<br />
All things foul and dangerous,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lord God made them all.<br />
Each viscious little hornet,<br />
Each beastly little squid--<br />
Who made the spikey urchin?<br />
Who made the sharks? He did!<br />
All things scabbed and ulcerous,<br />
All pox both great and small,<br />
All things foul and gangrenous,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lord God made them all<br />
<strong>An</strong>nie Laurie (trad.)<br />
Maxwelton's braes are bonnie<br />
Where early fa's the dew<br />
<strong>An</strong>d 'twas there that <strong>An</strong>nie Laurie<br />
Gave me her promise true.<br />
Gave me her promise true<br />
Which ne'er forgot will be<br />
<strong>An</strong>d for bonnie <strong>An</strong>nie Laurie<br />
I'd lay me doon and dee.<br />
Her brow is like the snowdrift<br />
Her throat is like the swan<br />
Her face it is the fairest<br />
That e'er the sun shone on.<br />
That e'er the sun shone on<br />
<strong>An</strong>d dark blue is her e'e<br />
<strong>An</strong>d for bonnie <strong>An</strong>nie Laurie<br />
I'd lay me doon and dee.<br />
Like dew on th'gowan lying<br />
Is th' fa' o' her fairy feet<br />
<strong>An</strong>d like the winds in summer sighing<br />
Her voice is low and sweet.<br />
Her voice is low and sweet<br />
<strong>An</strong>d she's a' the world to me<br />
<strong>An</strong>d for bonnie <strong>An</strong>nie Laurie<br />
I'd lay me doon and dee.<br />
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Eric Idle)<br />
Always look on the bright side of life...whistle<br />
Always look on the bright side of life...whistle<br />
Some things in life are bad<br />
<strong>The</strong>y can really make you mad<br />
Other things just make you swear and curse.<br />
When you're chewing on life's gristle<br />
Don't grumble, give a whistle<br />
<strong>An</strong>d this'll help things turn out for the best...<br />
<strong>An</strong>d...always look on the bright side of life...whistle<br />
Always look on the light side of life... whistle<br />
If life seems jolly rotten<br />
<strong>The</strong>re's something you've forgotten<br />
<strong>An</strong>d that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.<br />
When you're feeling in the dumps<br />
Don't be silly chumps<br />
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.<br />
<strong>An</strong>d...always look on the bright side of life... whistle<br />
Always look on the light side of life... whistle<br />
For life is quite absurd<br />
<strong>An</strong>d death's the final word<br />
You must always face the curtain with a bow.<br />
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin<br />
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.<br />
So always look on the bright side of death<br />
Just before you draw your terminal breath<br />
Life's a piece of s***<br />
When you look at it<br />
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.<br />
You'll see it's all a show<br />
Keep 'em laughing as you go<br />
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.<br />
<strong>An</strong>d always look on the bright side of life...<br />
Always look on the right side of life...<br />
(Come on guys, cheer up!)<br />
Always look on the bright side of life...<br />
Always look on the bright side of life...<br />
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)<br />
Always look on the bright side of life...<br />
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)<br />
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going<br />
back to nothing.<br />
What have you lost? Nothing!)<br />
Always look on the right side of life...<br />
