Ain't This The Life (10" EP) - Oingo Boingo

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' coco

Pretty señorita, look this way

Dancing through the night

Everything’s all right

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 Paris

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 all right

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.
