This Is The Life Lyrics
I eat filet mignon seven times a day.
My bathtub's filled with Perrier.
What can I say?
This is the life!
I buy a dozen cars when I'm in the mood.
I hire somebody to chew my food.
I'm an upwardly mobile dude.
This is the life!
They say that money corrupts you,
But I can't really tell.
I got the whole world at my feet,
And I think it's pretty swell.
I got women lined up outside my door.
They've been waitin' there since the week before.
Who could ask for more?
This is the life!
You're dead for a real long time.
You just can't prevent it.
So if money can't buy happiness,
I guess I'll have to rent it.
Yeah, every day I make the front page news.
No time to pay my dues.
I got a million pairs of shoes.
This is the life!
I got a solid gold Cadillac.
I make a fortune while I sleep.
You can tell I'm a living legend,
Not some ordinary creep.
No way, I'm the boss. The Big Cheese.
Yeah, I got this town on its knobby little knees.
I can do just what I please.
This is the life!
That's right, I'm the king. Number One.
I buy monogrammed Kleenex by the ton.
I pay the bills, I call the shots,
I grease the palms, I buy the yachts.
One thing I can guarantee.
The best things in life, they sure ain't free.
It's such a thrill just to be me.
This is the life!
This is the life!
My bathtub's filled with Perrier.
What can I say?
This is the life!
I hire somebody to chew my food.
I'm an upwardly mobile dude.
This is the life!
But I can't really tell.
I got the whole world at my feet,
And I think it's pretty swell.
They've been waitin' there since the week before.
Who could ask for more?
This is the life!
You just can't prevent it.
So if money can't buy happiness,
I guess I'll have to rent it.
No time to pay my dues.
I got a million pairs of shoes.
This is the life!
I make a fortune while I sleep.
You can tell I'm a living legend,
Not some ordinary creep.
Yeah, I got this town on its knobby little knees.
I can do just what I please.
This is the life!

The best things in life, they sure ain't free.
It's such a thrill just to be me.
This is the life!
This is the life!

This song rules!!!!!
What a great song - the album it's featured on (Dare to Be Stupid) is one of Al's greatest. This was also the theme song to the movie "Johnny Dangerously" with Michael Keaton.
i used to want to grow up and live like this song... love it!!
In addition to being a great song all by itself, this song is also the theme song to the movie "Johnny Dangerously" a very funny comedy about prohibition era gangsters
