That's The Life
Music by Randy Newman
Lyrics by Randy Newman
Performed
by Richard Dreyfuss, Susan Sarandon, Jane Leeves, Simon Callow
Bight lights, big city
That's where we gotta go
Where the
food is great and the bugs are so pretty
I'd like to get my arms around a
hundred or so
I'd hug 'em, squeeze 'em, hold 'em tight
Sleep all day,
dance all night
I want the bright lights and the big city
That's the life
for me
That's the life for...
You little maggot
Have you
never seen the moon
Gliding 'cross the western sky
A dead oak tree by the
waterside
Putrid vapors rising
That sounds lovely, dear
I'm sure we
all agree
But I prefer the sunshine
A little park right in the center of
the town
Flowers everywhere, children all around me
I'd love
it!
Landing on a baby's cheek so warm
It's wonderful, wonderful
That's
the life for me
That's the life for me
That's the life, that's the life
for me
Elegant conversation
Bright lights, big city
An elevated
point of view
That's where I'd go
Intelluctual stimulation
(Yeah, maybe
for you)
And
someone you love to share it with you
It would be wonderful,
wonderful
That's the life for me (You call that a life?)
That's the life for me
(It's no pile of dirt!)
That's the
life
That's the life
That's the life
That's the life
for...
