When the bus is late again, and you're standing in the rain
You could think about your life and get upset.
You've got so much work to do, and most of it's overdue
And you can't afford another cigarette

But always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

If you joined the Christian Union, but now you're sick of communion
And if you leave they swear they'll cast a curse
Though our college may be rotten, there's something you've forgotten,
At Droitwich it's a million times worse

So always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

There are problems with the emails, there are problems with the females
They all seem to be going bald from stress
But whatever your regrets, and however bad it gets,
Well, at least you didn't go to RGS

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

So you sit and wonder why, you've got resits in July
And Ian Birth is breathing down your neck
The prospectus was all lies, you've forgotten to revise,
But at least you didn't go to Worcester Tech

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

You delay your graduation, 'cause you failed Communication
And you know that in two years you've learned nothing
And there's nobody about, 'cause your friends have all dropped out
But at least you didn't choose to go to King's

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
