Livin’ the Dream
[HOOK HAND]
I had a dream
My dream came true
Yes, I got what I deserve
And so did you

I'm rich and famous and completely respected and I’m livin' the dream!

My digs are snazzy and my agent's connected and I’m livin' the dream!

I'm makin' millions playin' national tours
Decked in the latest from my head to my drawers
Guess you could say my life is better than yours
Brother, I'm livin' the dream!

The ladies love me and the critics adore me, yeah, I'm livin’ the dream!

I hit a pub, they roll the carpet out for me, ’cause I'm livin’ the dream!

My fans around me wavin' autograph books
They ooh and ahh about my stylish good looks
While I endorse my line of signature hooks

(spoken)
Don't touch, those are diamonds! For artistes only!

(sung)
Face it, I'm livin’ the dream!

Your dreams
Were lame, stupid
Poor dreams

But hey, we don't all get to be a talent like me!

(spoken)
Haha, everybody!

(sung)
This former lowlife is enjoying the high life and I'm livin' the dream!

[ENSEMBLE]
Livin' the dream!

[HOOK HAND]
Too bad that your life ain't as awesome as my life, you know what I mean

[ENSEMBLE]
He's livin' the dream!

[HOOK HAND]
Look what I got from simply payin' my dues
The fame, the fortune, the designer tattoos
I bet you'd love to spend one day in my, uh, shoe!

Shame your career's out of steam
Me, though?
I'm livin' the dream!
