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
