[Verse 1]
Emerald water, white sand beach
Florida sun, piña colada in reach
Umbrella shade and a beach chair seat
Feels like life just can’t be beat
[Chorus]
I don’t come from money, but I’m gonna have a ball
Just a weekend wonder, and I wanna taste it all
Taking in the sights and all there is to give
So this is how the other half lives
[Verse 2]
Seagulls dive in ocean spray
Sunshine melts the stress away
Golden girls with sun-kissed skin
This moment’s too good to tuck back in
[Chorus]
I don’t come from money, but I’m gonna have a ball
Just a weekend wonder, and I wanna taste it all
Taking in the sights and all there is to give
So this is how the other half lives
[Verse 3]
Neon signs and laughter loud
Velvet ropes and stylish crowds
Not my world, but for tonight
I’ll play the part and feel the light
[Chorus]
I don’t come from money, but I’m gonna have a ball
Just a weekend wonder, and I wanna taste it all
Taking in the sights and all there is to give
So this is how the other half lives
[Musical Break – Instrumental Swing]
[Final Chorus – Modulate Up]
I don’t come from money, but I’m gonna have a ball
One night only, baby, and I’m gonna have it all
Taking in the sights and all there is to give
So this… is how the other half lives
[Outro]
Yeah, this… is how the other half lives
