This Is the Life Songtext
von “Weird Al” Yankovic

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
