Yankovic, Weird Al - This Is The Life Lyrics






I eat filet mignon seven times a day
My bathtub's filled with Perrier
What can I say
This is the life

I buy a dozen cars when I'm in the mood
I hire somebody to chew my food
I'm an upwardly mobile dude
This is the life

They say that money corrupts you
But I can't really tell
I got the whole world at my feet
And I think it's pretty swell

I got women lined up outside my door
They've been waitin' there since the week before
Who could ask for more
This is the life

You're dead for a real long time
You just can't prevent it
So if money can't buy happiness
I guess I'll have to rent it

Yeah, every day I make the front page news
No time to pay my dues
I got a million pairs of shoes
This is the life

I got a solid gold Cadillac
I make a fortune while I sleep
You can tell I'm a living legend
Not some ordinary creep

No way, I'm the boss, the big cheese
Yeah, I got this town on its knobby little knees
And I can do just what I please
This is the life

That's right, I'm the king, number one
I buy monographed Kleenex by the ton
I pay the bills, I call the shots
I grease the palms, I buy the yachts

One thing I can guarantee
The best things in life, they sure ain't free
It's such a thrill just to be me
This is the life
Waah, this is the life

    Next time you're among friends, bring up Johnny Dangerously. More people need to talk about this movie.

  24. O.... K....

  28. K.... S....

    Original title song to "Johnny Dangerously" for those that don't know, but it didn't end up on the VHS release back in the day. Did it end up on the DVD, anyone?

  29. R.... R....

    So this is what Bruce Wayne does when not wearing dark spandex.

  30. F.... C....

    If you liked Airplane 1 and 2, the Naked Gun movies and Blazing Saddles, this movie is for you. Plus it was so so in the box office and it was dangerously underrated. Very dangerously funny movie..

    Johnny Dangerously is a fantastic movie

  41. C.... T....

  42. I.... H....

    That awkward moment when you realize a song from a soundtrack is likely making more money from YouTube monetizing than the movie is making in royalties.

  43. P.... M....

    October 29 rolls around...

  44. d.... h....

    Theme song of savannah philips




    ( a 7 year old in the british royal family )

  46. W.... S....

    I eat filet mignon seven times a day

  47. T.... ....

    "Did you know your last name's an adverb?"

  48. H.... w....

    2019 whos still listening

  49. C.... R....

    Everything this man says and writes is just pure gold. Nothing compares to the musicadies genius of weird al.

  50. C.... J....

    Interestingly this song keeps breaking into minor aspects reminiscent of George Formby's 'When im Cleaning Windows".
    Definitely distinct but I found it interesting how many minor moments (both in terms of note choice and verse structure) had a strong passing similarity.

  51. D.... ....

    Heavy metal guitar solo AND turntable scratching in the same song... from 1984! Was this the most ambitious musical crossover of all time?

  52. S.... J....

    Beat Mickael Keaton's movie sence beatle juice

  53. T.... D....

    Batman is actually in this

  54. P.... W....

    Weird Al is a fucking national treasure!

  55. N.... G....

    Johnny Dangerously was a hit movie, this video got heavy rotation on MTV, but it seems Weird Al as never played that song live.

  56. B.... D....

    Gets C in test

  57. B.... ....

    Johnny Dangerously was one helluva funny movie. An I Fargan mean it you Cork Suckers!

  58. W.... C....

    While I admit I never saw Johnny Dangerously in its entirety, I can only guess that Joe Piscapo was the perfect foil to Michael Keaton. (And I apologize in advance for misspellings.)

  59. C.... S....

    Weird Al....a true National Treasure

  60. s.... k....

    Johnny amazingly I believe lol

  61. S.... S....

    This is Andrew Ryan's theme song.

  62. A.... B....

    he hires somebody to chew his food and a million pairs of shoes ,hhhmmmm that is the life

  63. O.... O....

    Classic!

  64. r.... c....

    "I grease the palms". In my 10 year old mind, this translated as "I greet the popes." (?) F'ed up kid.

  65. J.... E....

    If someone out there has the guitar tabs for the solo that would be splendid :)

  66. C.... ....

    Pretty fun... and funny video!

  67. A.... H....

    Al should host SNL

  68. A.... B....

    Weird Al .....king of the parody

    A.... B....

    Al does parodies and that's what made him famous, but most of his songs are originals, like this one is.
    He's been writing songs for movies, tv and commercials since the 1980s, but most people don't know that because he's really humble and doesn't make a big deal out it.

  69. T.... F....

    This song was the original "Seven Rings".

  70. R.... T....

    This. Is Farging Music!

  71. C.... M....

    This man is a national treasure.

  72. H.... l....

    Andrew Wilson's theme song.

  73. W.... ....

    Wait, was this song in Johnny Dangerously? I need to rewatch that.

    W.... ....

    I FOUND A PERSON WHO WATCHED THIS RECENTLY YAY

  74. I.... S....

    I'll bet every oligarch has this song on their playlist.

  75. A.... M....

    How else could be afford another solid gold Humphrey

    A.... M....

    Humvee! It's a vehicle used by the military.

  76. S.... M....

    James Bonnen your wrong moron parodies are better than Originals

    S.... M....

    And exactly how many of Al's parodies have you listened to? More than half of Al's 14 albums are original songs.

    S.... M....

    over a 150

    S.... M....

    @Samuel Moore Wow, give me the link to the 70 parodies Al never released.

    S.... M....

    @Sophie T I'm 12 so screw off and DIE!!!!!

  77. W.... B....

    What movie were they showing clips from

    W.... B....

    the 1984 ganster spoof Johnny Dangerously.

  78. h.... ....

    This should have been the song that plays in Batman 1989 during the Joker parade scene.

  79. E.... ....

    Weird Al's music videos are amazing.

  80. E.... ....

    What style of music would you call this? Does it qualify as ragtime?

    E.... ....

    Boogie woogie

  81. N.... B....

    What is the original

    N.... B....

    More than half of Al's hundreds of songs are originals. He wrote this as the theme song to the movie, Johnny Dangerously.

  82. D.... T....

    You shouldn't shoot me Johnny. My-

  83. B.... M....

    This is the Life!

  84. B.... M....

    This feels like one of those classic 50s movies. I love it

  85. L.... Q....

    The king of the funny

  86. C.... C....

    Looking at the clips of the movie, I have a feeling it didn't do well. I don't mean that in an "it looks bad sense" but more I'm not entirely sure if there was much of a market for what looks like a gangster movie parody. Id watch it though

  87. A.... P....

    “If money can’t buy happiness, I guess I’ll have to rent it” - Solid advice from Al

  88. s.... c....

    Used to love this movie still cracks me up!

  89. G.... R....

    Al Yankovic is a pimp

  90. n.... c....

    I also know Kungfu...

  91. C.... D....

    And I thought "Fat" fit Bustopher!

  92. w.... b....

    Wasn't there a version of this video minus the Johnny Dangerously clips? 🤔

  93. J.... N....

    Clips from Johnny Dangerously, great film

  94. n.... v....

    Smokin hot Al......awesome song/hilariously fun movie.............i still miss the 80's for reasons like these.................and more

  95. D.... ....

    Jim West - electric guitar; Sonny Burke on piano

  96. J.... J....

    Just realized this is based on bear necessities!!

  97. N.... W....

    Sorry sir, but Tommy Guns are above the legal limit.

  98. J.... ....
