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 . . .
