I′m gonna buy a big red truck
Then a rabbit′s foot for real good luck
Gonna get me some plastic gunga dins
Then I′ll buy a big house to put ′em all in
I′ll buy a new suit when I′m feeling down
Picks me up and i show it around
I′ll wear it once or twice I′m sure
Then I′ll get another when feeling the urge
I′m living the good life
I′ve got my beautiful things so high as a kite
I′m living the good life
I buy and buy so high in the sky
I′ll buy the special meal with the prize
The toys with motorized blinking eyes
Lunch and dinner there I′ll be
My favorite character eluding me
There′s a sale down at the five and dime
Everything′s going for dirt this time
i don′t need this but it′s so cheap
Visions of a bargain in my sleep
I′m living the good life
I′ve got my beautiful things so high as a kite
I′m living the good life
I buy and buy so high in the sky
I′ll buy the special meal with the prize
The toys with motorized blinking eyes
Lunch and dinner there I′ll be
My favorite character eluding me
There′s a sale down at the five and dime
Everything′s going for dirt this time
i don′t need this but it′s so cheap
Visions of a bargain in my sleep
These wonderful items everywhere
A house full of things but i don′t care
i wonder as I′m sitting there
Maybe I′ll feel better in a brand new chair
