Goodbye & good luck!

Well, boys and girls, it's time for me to leave. I wish you all the best.

Although this is our last activity together, let’s be optimistic with the help of Monty Python's song Always look on the bright side of life.

1. Listen to the song and follow it with the lyrics below.
2. There are some words in bold. Can you classify them into two columns, as positive and negative terms?
3. Look up the dictionary when necessary.

For example,
positive terms: life, ...
negative terms: bad, ...

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE
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 bright 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 the last chance anyhow!
So always look on the bright side of death! 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 laughing 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 bright side of life. Come on guys, 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 bright side of life...
