Ain't This The Life Lyrics - 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' co-co 

Pretty senorita look this way 

Dancing through the night 

Everything's alright 

Girlfriend and a wife 

Oh, ain't this the life, tell me ain't this the life 

Momma ain't this the life, baby ain't this the life 

Oh baby, baby, baby ain't this the life 

Oh, ain't this the life, tell me baby, baby ain't this 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 

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 alright 

Girlfriend and a wife 

Oh, ain't this the life, ain't this the life 

Ain't this the life, ain't this the life 

Oh baby, oh baby, oh ain't this the life 

Oh, ain't this the life, baby, baby, baby ain't this the life 

Oh, ain't this the life, baby, baby, baby ain't this the life 

Oh, ain't this the life, oh, ain't this the life, now 

Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life 

Momma, momma, momma ain't this the life 

Tell me, tell me, tell me ain't this the life 

Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life 

Momma, momma, momma ain't this the life 

Tell me, tell me, tell me ain't this the life 

Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life 

Momma, momma, momma ain't this the life 

Tell me, tell me, tell me ain't this the life 

'Cause it ain't just the life, 'cause it ain't just the life 

'Cause it ain't just the life, life, life, life
