Song 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!
