Lyrics Oingo Boingo

Oingo Boingo

Ain't This the Life

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

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

Ain't this the life, baby, baby, baby . . .

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 parie

Hangin' out with lynn and suzie

Have a massage and a ja'causezi

Climb into bed and see what's on tv

Dancing through the night

Everything's alright

Girlfriend and a wife . . .

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

Ain't this the life, tell me, tell me, tell me . . .
