This Is The Life – English Lyrics

• By: “Weird Al” Yankovic

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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 it's 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

...
