It looks like we squandered the whole afternoon
Staring from the terrace to the sky
But why would we take the boat out
When I can watch the whales swimming on your tie?
Let's go get dressed for a casual dinner
We can wear khakis and blue cable sweaters
And no one will know that we need
Four or five more co*ktails just to go to bed together
Don't you love it honey, love us having so much money
In our summer situation by the sea?
Would you like a stiff bellini or a very dry martini?
It'll wash away your mediocrity
This looks like a slice of heaven
Feels like a piece of preppy purgatory
It's true what they say, money doesn't make you happy
It makes you love a life of misery
Now that we're settled at our beachside table
We could talk about our problems, but why would we bother?
When we can just sip on this overpriced Pinot
And speak of lovely easterlies coming off the water
Don't you love it honey, love us having so much money
In our summer situation by the sea?
Would you like a stiff bellini or a very dry martini?
It'll wash away your mediocrity
This looks like a slice of heaven
Feels like a piece of preppy purgatory
It's true what they say, money doesn't make you happy
It makes you love a life of misery, oh yeah
It makes you love a life of misery
