The money won't last forever –
rent man called twice today.
I hope some day you'll find me
in the Lap of Luxury.
Lap of Luxury.
Searched for a new apartment
but they don't grow on trees.
Just want to lay my head
in the Lap of Luxury.
Living in the Lap of Luxury.
Lap of Luxury.
Lap of Luxury.
Stepped out on a new horizon –
felt a new spring in my feet.
Found a job, it could set me up
dangling in the Lap of Luxury.
Living in the Luxury.
And the gaffer is a man of substance –
drives a Jag and takes high tea.
Lives beyond the industrial wasteland
laughing in the Lap of Luxury.
Living in the Luxury.
Lap of Luxury.
Dangling in the Lap of Luxury.
I need money, now, to soothe my heart!
Lap of Luxury.
Lap of Luxury.
Lap of Luxury.
Buy me a Datsun or Toyota –
get the tax man to agree
all expenses I can muster
from the Lap of Luxury.
Living in the Lap of Luxury.
In the Lap of Luxury.
Buy me a Datsun or Toyota.
I need money, now, to soothe my heart!
