AIN'T THIS THE LIFE Lyrics

Ain't This the Life

Looks like the start of a perfect day

Sleeping in 'till half past nine

After a couple of cups of java

We might even rise and shine

First we got to do the crossword

Hang in 'till we get it right

You and me honey

Baby now ain't this the life

After a bath and a backrub

We'll be wanting something to eat

We can finish last night's Chinese

And catch a movie on TV

Maybe do a double feature

With a second piece of pie

You and me honey

Baby now ain't this the life

Yesterday we were running ragged

In the big old city

Now we're kickin' back darling

Sittin' pretty

Lazing around in any old thing

Letting the day slip by

You and me honey

Baby now ain't this the life

Later we'll put on some music

Turn the lights down low

I don't care what we do

As long as we take it slow

Get a head start on the evening

Over by the firelight

You and me honey

Baby now ain't this the life

Yesterday we were running ragged

In the big old city

Now we're kickin' back darling

Sittin' pretty

Let's break out a bottle of bubbly

And turn in early tonight

You and me honey

Baby now ain't this the life

You and me honey

Baby now ain't this the life
