Livin' way up now in a penthouse high
Our steaks are rare and our martini's 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 and sniffin' coco
Pretty señorita, look this way
Dancing through the night
Everything's all right
Girlfriend and a wife
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's 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?!?
Think I'll go out now on a shopping spree
Breakfast in New York, dinner in Paris
Hangin' out with Lynn and Suzie
Have a massage and a Jacuzzi
Climb into bed and see what's on TV
Dancing through the night
Everything's all right
Girlfriend and a wife...
Ain't this the life, ain't this the life
Ain't this the life?!? Tell me, tell me, tell me...

Uno dei primi brani composti dalla new wave band californiana degli Oingo Boingo.
Nella prima demo e poi nel primo EP del gruppo.
Il brano si trova anche nella colonna sonora del film musicale “Urgh! A Music War” (1982)
“Uno stile di vita da superattico / bistecche speciali e Martini Dry / La gente di sotto dice che non è giusto / Che vadano all’inferno! Non me ne importa nulla / Joie de vivre, mon amie / Non è questa la vita?!?”
Dal piccolo Lapo El Can al grande Donald "Bully" Trump, una sequela senza fine di riccastri affamatori dei popoli...
