Oingo Boingo — Aint This the Life

[Verse 1] 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Dancing through the night Everything's all right Girlfriend and a wife... Ain't this the life? Yeah, I said, "Ain't this the life?" Tell me, tell me, tell me: Ain't this the life? Oh, mama, mama, mama, ain't this the life? Baby, baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? [Chorus] The life, oh, ain't this the life? Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? The life, oh, ain't this the life? Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? Oh, ain't this the life? Ain't this the life? [Verse 3] 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? [Verse 4] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Dancing through the night Everything's all right Girlfriend and a wife... Ain't this the life? Yeah, I said, "Ain't this the life?" Tell me, tell me, tell me: Ain't this the life? Oh, mama, mama, mama, ain't this the life? Baby, baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? [Chorus] The life, oh, ain't this the life? Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? The life, oh, ain't this the life? Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? Oh, ain't this the life? Ain't this the life now? [Outro] Oh, baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? Oh, mama, mama, mama, ain't this the life? Tell me, tell me, tell me: Ain't this the life? Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? Oh, mama, mama, mama, ain't this the life? Tell me, tell me, tell me: Ain't this the life? Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? Mama, mama, mama, ain't this the life? Tell me, tell me, tell me: Ain't this the life? Oh, I said, "Ain't this the life?" Oh, I said, "Ain't this the life?" Oh, I said, "Ain't this the life?"
