This is the life, here's where the livin' is
This is the life, baby, you're there
This is the life, you've waited long enough
Girl, you've arrived, breathe in that air

Wine and perfume, silver and candlelight
Children, make way, I'm here to stay
Nothing but class, that's how it's gonna be
This is the life for me

House at the beach, dinners at twenty-one
Headwaiter's smile when you walk in
Hand-tailored suits, shirts with your monogram
Feel of real silk next to your skin

Top of the heap, first cabin all the way
How sweet the song when you belong
Nothing but class, that's how it's gonna be
This is the life for me

This is the life
This is the life
This is the life
