That's The Life For Me lyrics

Bright 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, yeah!

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)

Intellectual stimulation

And someone you love to share it with you

It would be wonderful, wonderful

That's the life for me

That's the life for me

That's the life

That's the life

That's the life

That's the life for—
