The Good Life

I'm gonna buy a big red truck

Then a rabbit's foot for real good luck

Gonna get me some plastic Gunga Dins

Then I'll buy a big house to put 'em all in

I'll buy a new suit when I'm feelin' down

Picks me up and I'll show it around

I'll wear it once or twice I'm sure

Then I'll get another when I'm feelin' the urge

I'm living the good life

I got my beautiful things so high as a kite

Living the good life

I buy and buy so high in the sky

I'll buy the special meal with the prize

And toys with the motorized blinkin' eyes

And lunch and dinner there I'll be

My favorite character eluding me

There's a sale down at the Five And Dime

And everything's going for dirt this time

I don't need this but it's so cheap

The visions of a bargain in my sleep

I'm living the good life

I got my beautiful things so high as a kite

Living the good life

I buy and buy so high in the sky

Living the good life

I got my beautiful things so high as a kite

I'm living the good life

I buy and buy so high in the sky

These wonderful items everywhere

A house full of things but I don't care

I wonder as I'm sitting there

Maybe I'll feel better in a brand new chair

I'm living the good life

I got my beautiful things so high as a kite

Living the good life

I buy and buy so high as a kite

Living the good life

I got my beautiful things so high as a kite

I'm living the good life

I buy and buy so high in the sky

I'm living the good life

I got my beautiful things so high as a kite

Living the good life

I buy and buy so high as a kite

High in the sky
