[imitating instrumental ragtime music]
I eat filet mignon seven times a day
My bathtub's filled with Perrier
(Bom bom bom)
What can I say?
This is the life
(Doo doo doo doo)
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
(Wah wah wah wah)
They say that (Ooo) 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
[imitating drum solo]
[imitating trombone]
[imitating electric guitar ?!]
(Waddup
Waddup)
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
[imitating musical instruments]
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
[scat singing]
[half-imitating clarinet]
[imitating honky-tonk piano 'cause why not]
[imitating spoons percussion
interspersed with more musical instruments]
[scat singing]
(Bow!)
[imitating scratching record !?]
(Waaah)
(B- ba- b- ba-)
[that poor record]
(Wah wah wah)
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 its knobby little knees
I can do just what I please
This is the life
[breath!]
(Do do)
That's right, I'm the king
Number one
I buy my autographed 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
Such a thrill just to be me
This is the life
(Da-da dom)
(Waaaaa-aah)
This is the life
[more scat singing ..you wanna type it?]
[holding single musical note
while imitating banjo crescendo]
[imitating cymbal]
(Thank you!)
