thomas hampson - this is the life lyrics

this is the life lyrics
[sam]
this is the life! the life for me!
this is the way that life should be!
i’m free!
i can be as sloppy as i d+mn well please
i can sprawl on the bed at my leisure and ease
i can throw my ashes all around the floor
i can read at night, i can even snore
the closet’s mine, every hanger in there
no more loaded hooks do i ever share
the tub is mine! the sink is mine!
the chair is minе! the room is mine!
yes+siree!
this is thе life! the life for me!
i’m free!
sure, i miss the kids, i guess
i miss them more than i could ever say
but i am told that time will make it less
and i’ll grow used to having them away
outside of that i’m glad i am alone
this is the sweetest living i have known
no more the troubled over+anxious thought
about her mood or what she’s thinking of
no more the hopeless feeling that i’m caught
oh yes, there’s peace in having not to love
yes, there is peace in hearing no one sigh
yes, there is peace and that’s the reason why
this is the life! the life for me!
this is the way it ought to be!
i’m free!

(spoken)
room service!
(sung)
it’s great when you’re hungry
to phone below yet not have to wait ’til your wife…
(spoken)
h+llo!
(sung)
my name is samuel cooper in seven+twenty+eight
i’d like to order dinner before it is too late
i’ll have shrimps and steak
make it medium well
and the richest dessert in the whole hotel
but speed is important
bring it on the run
i’m hungry!
(spoken)
what?
yes, i sad for one!
you heard me!
d+mn it!
service for one!
(sung)
why do they ask me every time i phone?
what’s so bizarre about a man alone?
sure, i know it’s not ideal
i still have thoughts of her i can’t forget
but that’s a thing they say that time will heal
i wonder why it hasn’t done it yet
i wonder why the memories never go
i even think they’re starting to grow
now cut it out!
go out and have a whirl!
you know the spots
go out and have a spree!
you’ve got a phone
go get yourself a girl!
go on, you dope!
you’re absolutely free!
(spoken)
free.

(sung)
i wish i were free of that dream i keep dreaming
the three of them swimming, then starting to drown
and i’m somewhere else and i don’t hear them screaming
and thousands of people just watch them go down

no! i’m not sitting in tonight!
i’m heading out where the lights are bright!
(spoken)
room service!
(sung)
i’ve got my freedom, the thing is done
but what’s the sense if i don’t have fun?
this is samuel cooper!
the order’s dead!
you’ve been too long!
i’m going out instead!
i’m going out!
i need a change of view!
there must be something out there to do!
i’ve got my freedom
the perfect life!
don’t have a family, a home, a wife!
this is the life!
the life for me!
this is the way it ought to be!
i’m free! i’m free! i’m free!
