Ain't This the Life Songtext
von 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, yeah, aha, I said ain′t this the life?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, ain't this the life?
Yeah, aha, aha, I said ain′t this the life?
Baby, baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life? (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?
(Instrumental)

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? Oh

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, aha, aha, I said ain't this the life?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, ain′t this the life?
Yeah, aha, aha, I said ain't this the life?
Baby, baby, baby, baby, ain′t this the life? (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?

Oh, baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, ain′t this the life?
Oh, momma, momma, momma, ain't this the life?
Baby, baby, baby, ain′t this the life?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, ain't this the life?
Oh, momma, momma, momma, ain′t this the life?
Baby, baby, baby, ain't this the life?
Tell me, tell me, tell me ain't this the life?
Oh, momma, momma, momma 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?
