Ain't This The Life Lyrics
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 . . .
this song is not shallow, it's ironic. they are running through the mind of an upper class citizen in the first person, showing just where their morals and priorities lie. and it's kinda sad cause i'm sure there are too many people that really do think this way when they fall into money like that. i don't know why there aren't more posts on OB songs, danny elfman is a brillian lyricist.
shallow, but it has such a good beat, and rythm seriously though, It's like someone who had money fall onto them, and they want to Fbleeping enjoy it.
I like this song because it mentions New York as a very upscale place
DANNY ELFMAN RULEZ!!! good song, catchy lyrics, what more do u need
nothing to add i agree with Truth and happiness. Dead on.
