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
