OPENER Four ladies chain, you turn there with your girl, You roll away, boy, circle the world, Four ladies roll away, circle the town, Left allemande and you weave it around
Always look on the bright side of life You swing and promenade
Always look on the bright side of life
MIDDLE BREAK   Sides face, grand square
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 Allemande left and weave
Always look on the bright side of life You swing and promenade
Always look on the bright side of life

CLOSER Four ladies chain three quarters around now, You roll away, boy, circle the town
You'll see it's all a show, keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you Allemande left and weave
Always look on the bright side of death You swing and promenade
Just before you draw your terminal breath Tag: Swing her (Whistle)

FIGURE    ..... Promenade that pretty thing    Always look on the bright side of life
