Sammy Davis Jr. - This Is The Life lyrics

[EDDIE, spoken] Come with me, Joe. Yes? No? Maybe? [JOE, spoken] Show me [EDDIE, spoken] Be my guest (sing) 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 Violet 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 (spoken) Don't be a square, Joe! (sung) 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 Where you belong? Top of the heap That's how it's got to be This is the life, you'll see! [JOE & ENSEMBLE] Can I be what I wanna be? Yes, you can! Can I get what I wanna get? Yes, you can! Can I have a car with a built-in bar Color TV and a Playboy key And a hundred shares of AT&T? Yes, you can, yes, you can! Contour chairs, imported booze A calendar watch and custom-made shoes Photograph in the Daily News Yes, you can! Uh-huh! Ten dollar ties? Yes sir, how many? You'll get to call Leonard Bernstein "Lenny" Lunch at Shaw's, pick up the tab The doorman saying "May I get you a cab?" Cab. Thank you Bartender asking "What'll you have?" Charge account at Saks Fifth Ave Diamond studs, finest grade And every single album Ray Charles ever made Polaroid camera, stereo sets Season box to see the Mets Charcoal grill with a Nathan's frank Diner's Club card and money in the bank Shave and a haircut? Me next! [JOE & EDDIE] This is the life Here's where the living is This is the life Baby, you're there This is for me Free, black and twenty-one This is the life Breathe in that air You're meant for 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 This is the life This is the life for me!
