One year from now I'll be walking down the streets of Paris instead of walking in this grey old town loads of smiles from the people I meet you know that they'll be so happy to have me around *My application is in my application is in my application is in for the good life* Don't you know that you can join me on this ride If I don't make it you'll know that I tried you never heard me saying that my hands are tied because I applied I applied applied for the good life Two years from now I'll be the life of the party and the daydream of beautiful intelligent women the chosen one the worlds favorite son anything I ask for I will be given *My application is in my application is in my application is in for the good life* Don't you know that you can join me on this ride If I don't make it you'll know that I tried you never heard me saying that my hands are tied because I applied I applied applied for the good life Three years from now I'll be at the top of the world or at the bottom of the deep blue ocean wherever I go, whatever I do you know that I'll be causing a commotion *My application is in my application is in my application is in for the good life* Don't you know that you can join me on this ride If I don't make it you'll know that I tried you never heard me saying that my hands are tied because I applied I applied applied for the good life
