That’s the Life
[[CENTIPEDE]]
Bright lights, big city
That's where we gotta go
Where the food is great and the bugs are so pretty
I love to get my arms around a hundred or so
I hug 'em, squeeze 'em, hold 'em tight
Sleep all day, dance all night
I love the bright lights and the big city
That's the life for me, Yeah!
That's the life for-
[[MISS SPIDER]]
You little maggot, have you never seen the moon
Glide across the western sky?
A dead oak tree by the waterside?

But I prefer the sunshine
A little park right in the center of the town (Aaah..)
Flowers everywhere, children all around me
I love it!
Landing on a baby's cheeks so warm
Wonderful
[[WOMEN'S Chorus]]
Wonderful
[[MRS. LADYBUG (GLOWWORM)]]
That's the life for me (Ah ah ah ah ah ah aah)
That's the life for me (Aah aah aah aah)
That's the life
That's the life for me
[[GRASSHOPPER(CENTIPEDE)]]
Elegant conversations (Bright lights, big city)
An elevated point of view (That's where I go)
Intellectual stimulations
[[CENTIPEDE]]
(spoken)
Yeah, maybe for you
[[GRASSHOPPER]]
And someone you love to share it with you
[[COMPANY (EARTHWORM)}}
It would be wonderful, wonderful
That's the life for me (You call that a life?!)
That's the life for me (It's no pile of dirt!)
That's the life
That's the life
That's the life
That's the life for-
