Lyrics & Translation

[English]
The waves are crashing high
At the Grand Success Resort
No stress, yeah, no stress
Let’s top up the Prosecco
Top it up
It’s all good, gimme more
We’re living the Magic Life
Dad’s showing off his new car
Against some building or another
Let’s top up the Prosecco
Top it up
We criminals
Are walking hand in hand
We’re living the Magic Life
