This is the life,
| Here's where the living is,
| This is the life,
| Baby, you're there.
| This is the life,
| You've waited long enough,
| Man, you've arrived,
| Breathe in that air.
| Modern perfume,
| Silver and candlelight,
| Children, make way,
| Joe's here to stay.
| Come join the club,
| Hear that sweet music start,
| This is the life, sweetheart.
|
| Tell them bye-bye,
| Get where the action is,
| Come have some fun,
| I'll lead the way.
| This is the life,
| They've kept you in a box,
| Break down the walls,
| Come out and play.
| See all the lights,
| They're spelling "Wellington,"
| How sweet the song
| When you belong.
| Top of the heap,
| That's how it's got to be,
| This is the life, you'll see.
|
| This is the life,
| Here's where the living is,
| This is the life,
| Baby, I'm there.
| This is for me,
| Free, black and twenty-one,
| Now Ive arrived,
| Breathe in that air.
| This lovely life,
| This groovy atmosphere,
| Out of my way,
| Joe's here to stay.
| King of the hill,
| That's how it's got to be,
| This is the life for me.
