Guiteau" Charlie Guiteau Never said "Never" Or heard the word "No" Faced with disaster His heart would beat faster His smile would just grow And he'd say Look on the bright side Look on the bright side Sit on the right side Of the Lord This is the land of Opportunity He is your lightning You His Sword Wait 'til you see tomorrow Tomorrow you'll get your reward You can be sad Or you can be president Look on the bright side I am going to the Lordy Charlie Guiteau Drew a crowd to his trial Led them in prayer Said, "I killed Garfield I'll make no denial I was just acting For Someone up there The Lord's my employer And now He's my lawyer So do what you dare" Charlie said, "Hell If I am guilty Then God is as well" But God was acquitted And Charlie committed Until he should hang Still, he sang Look on the bright side Not on the black side Get off your backside Shine those shoes This is your golden Opportunity You are the lightning And you're news Wait 'til you see tomorrow Tomorrow you won't be ignored You could be pardoned You could be president Look on the bright side I am going to the Lordy Charlie Guiteau Had a crowd at the scaffold I am so glad Filled up the square So many people That tickets were raffled Shine on his shoes Charlie mounted the stair Said, "Never sorrow Just wait 'til tomorrow Today isn't fair Don't despair" Look on the bright side Look on the bright side Sit on the right side Of the I am going to the Lordy I am so glad I am going to the Lordy I am so glad I have unified my party I have saved my country I shall be remembered I am going to the Lordy Look on the bright side Not on the sad side Inside the bad side Something's good This is your golden Opportunity You've been a preacher Yes, I have You've been an author Yes, I have You've been a killer Yes, I have You could be an angel Yes, I could Just wait until tomorrow Tomorrow they'll all climb aboard What if you never Got to be president?
