The Good Life

Well I failed my education

And I failed at my first job

Well I failed so bad that I nearly broke down

But then the good, good life came and turned my head around

Then a fat man walked up to me

Smokin' a Havana cigar

And said, "boy you gotta learn to put your body around

You'll have a big Rolls-Royce and make one or ten million pounds

It's gonna be the good life

Good life

I'll give you wine, women, music if you sign on the dotted line"

Good good food

Good good wine

Well it's a good, good life and I love it

Better off than being a tramp

I write so many cheques that my fingers get cramp

I've got so many women that I wish that I wasn't a man

It's gonna be the good life

Good life

But I'm so browned off that it's given me a permanent tan

Too much food

Too much wine

Well it's a good, good life and I love it

That was a good, good life and I loved it

Cheat me all the time

Well they spent all their money, now they're gonna spend mine

I got so many problems that it's keeping me awake at night

And if this is civilization, I'd rather be uncivilized

And if this is the good, good life, I'd rather be back in the mine
