How the Other Half Lives (Bossa Nova)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah, this… is how the other half lives
