Livin' way up now in a penthouse high Our steaks are rare and our martini's dry Folks below they say it ain't fair Hell with them, I really don't care Joie de vivre, mon amie Ain't this the life Having a party on a big jet plane I got so drunk that I could feel no pain Hangin' out in acapulco Drinkin' rum and sniffin' co-co Pretty senorita look this way Dancing through the night Everything's alright Girlfriend and a wife Ain't this the life, ain't this the life Ain't this the life, baby, baby, baby... Tropical island in the deep blue sea The natives are friendly and the lobster's free Sipping Cognac like a french king Plenty of room, I own the whole thing Joie de vivre, mon amie Ain't this the life Think I'll go out now on a shopping spree Breakfast in new york, dinner in parie Hangin' out with lynn and suzie Have a massage and a jacuzzi Climb into bed and see what's on tv Dancing through the night Everything's alright Girlfriend and a wife... Ain't this the life, ain't this the life Ain't this the life, tell me, tell me, tell me...
