Livin' way up now in a penthouse high
Our steaks are rare and our martini is 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 going loco
Pretty senorita look this way
Dancing through the night
Everything's alright

Ain't this the life, ain't this the life
Ain't this the life, baby, baby, baby . . .

Tropical island in the deep blue sea

The natives are friendly and the lobster is 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
