  oh the wind whistles down
  the cold dark street tonight
  and the people they were dancing
  to the music vibe
  
  and the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
  while the shocked too many sit way over there
  and the songs get louder each one better than before
  
  and you singing the song thinking this is the life
  and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
  where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
  and you singing the song thinking this is the life
  and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the sizxe
  where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
  where you gonna sleep tonight
  
  so you’re heading down the road in your taxi for 4
  and you’re waiting outside jimmy’s front door
  but nobody’s in and nobody’s home till 4
  so you’re sitting there with nothing to do
  talking about robert ragger and his 1 leg crew
  and where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
  
  and you singing the song thinking this is the life
  and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
  oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
  and you singing the song thinking this is the life
  and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
  where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
  where you gonna sleep tonight
  
  and you singing the song thinking this is the life
  and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
  oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
  and you singing the song thinking this is the life
  and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
  where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
  
  where you gonna sleep tonight?

• weird al'ın zengin olma hali hakkında eski bir şarkısı, komik ve şirin bi şarkı:
  
  i eat filet mignon seven times a day.
  my bathtub's filled with perrier.
  what can i say?
  this is the life!
  
  i buy a dozen cars when i'm in the mood.
  i hire somebody to chew my food.
  i'm an upwardly mobile dude.
  this is the life!
  
  they say that money corrupts you,
  but i can't really tell.
  i got the whole world at my feet,
  and i think it's pretty swell.
  
  i got women lined up outside my door.
  they've been waitin' there since the week before.
  who could ask for more?
  this is the life!
  
  you're dead for a real long time.
  you just can't prevent it.
  so if money can't buy happiness,
  i guess i'll have to rent it.
  
  yeah, every day i make the front page news.
  no time to pay my dues.
  i got a million pairs of shoes.
  this is the life!
  
  i got a solid gold cadillac.
  i make a fortune while i sleep.
  you can tell i'm a living legend,
  not some ordinary creep.
  
  no way, i'm the boss. the big cheese.
  yeah, i got this town on its knobby little knees.
  i can do just what i please.
  this is the life!
  
  that's right, i'm the king. number one.
  i buy monogrammed kleenex by the ton.
  i pay the bills, i call the shots,
  i grease the palms, i buy the yachts.
  
  one thing i can guarantee.
  the best things in life, they sure ain't free.
  it's such a thrill just to be me.
  this is the life!
  this is the life!
• doğru sözleri aşağıdaki gibi olan, çift sesli vokalin çok yakıştığı, where did you sleep last night'la benzeşen, annelik içgüdüsü gibi "şimdi nerdedir ne yapıyordur?" tadında, hayatın şarkılardan ibaret olduğunu düşünen ve sabahları başı kazan gibi uyananların kafasında gezen, kimsenin olmadığı zamanlarda düşülen can sıkıntılarıyla örülü, hoş ritimli, iskoç aksanlı şarkı.
  
  oh the wind whistles down
  the cold dark street tonight
  and the people they were dancing
  to the music vibe
  and the boys chase the girls
  with the curls in their hair
  and the shy tormented youth sit
  way over there
  and the songs they get louder
  each one better than before
  
  and you're singing the songs
  thinking this is the life
  and you wake up in the morning
  and your head feels twice the size
  where you gonna go
  where you gonna go
  where you gonna sleep tonight
  and you're singing the songs
  thinking this is the life
  and you wake up in the morning
  and your head feels twice the size
  where you gonna go
  where you gonna go
  where you gonna sleep tonight
  where you gonna sleep tonight
  
  so you're heading down the road
  in your taxi for four
  and you're waiting outside jimmy's front door
  but nobody's in and nobody's home till four
  so you're sitting there with nothing to do
  talking about robert riger and his motley crew.
  and where you're gonna go and where your gonna sleep tonight.
  
  chorus
• mükemmel bir şarkı. kardeşim ve iki arkadaşımla birlikte kiralık bir vw golfle paris sokaklarında gecenin dördünde hotel, hostel vs. ayarlamadığımız için arabayı çekip uyuyacak bir yer ararken aklıma gelen şarkıdır ayrıca. aynı gün içerisinde yaklaşık 500 km. yol yapıp, bütün gün parisi yürüyüp yorgunluktan ölürken, otobanda bir benzinlikte park edip uyuma planları yapılmıştır. fakat şehrin tamamıyle dışına çıkmadan park yeri olan büyük bir benzinlik bulunamadığından bu plan da suya düşmüştür. parise geri dönüp kuytu bir yer ararken ve zenci, çapulcu tiplerin olmadığı sokak bulamayıp uyuma umutlarım suya düşmek üzereyken, arabadaki herkes fosur fosur uyurken aklıma gelip gülümsememi sağlamıştır bu şarkı. çünkü aynı günün sabahı radyoda bu şarkıyı duyduğumda "hallederiz, ayarlanır biryerlerde uyunur" denmiştir kendi kendine. sonuç olarak sabah 4.30 civarında uygun bir sokak bulunup sabah 9 a kadar uyunup şehri gezmeye kalınan yerden devam edilmiştir, bir daha kalıcak yer ayarlamadan yola çıkan top ossun denmiştir.
  
  where you gonna sleep tonight?
• mutlu mutlu gelip sonradan koyan şarkılardan. repeat'e alınıp dinlenesi...
