Lyrics:

Okay living in the city
Whores outside a-posing
Traffic noise a lullaby
Skyscapers better than the blue skies
We can do what we want
We can say what we please
We can be who we want
Being poor's okay by me
Proud I don't have no TV

Living at the Canterbury
(My friends think I'm a fool)
Living at the Canterbury
I guess it's pretty cool

Living at the Canterbury
Fighting off the roaches
Like being in a dormitory
Till rental due approaches
(Don't know where we'll get the cash)
Spent it all on booze
I'm no fool with credit cards
It's better not to think
Sometimes little I like to think!


See me pose
Having so much fun
Champagne glass in my hand
My put on smile
On my painted face
I show no trace of boredom

See me laugh
At your jokes
Your gossiping lips
You look so divine, so divine
In your Fiorucci dress
Your party is finess

Charming, darling

Party pose
Let's pretend
Jet set
Rive Gauche
Party pose
Quite dull
Moet Chandon
Andy Warhol

See me fit
The stylish crowd
Hear the stories
The worldly wise
Exaggerate
We've been around
We've seen it all
We're so profound

See my friends
Walk in the door
Eat caviar, drink
Ash the floor
Party crash patrol
Has come
Party pose
Has just begun

Party pose
Lets pretend
Jet set
Rive Gauche
Party pose
Quite dull
Moet Chandon
Andy Warhol

See me pose
Having so much fun
Champagne glass in my hand
My put on smile
On my painted face
I show no trace of boredom

See me laugh
At your jokes
Your gossiping lips
You look so divine
In your Fiorucci dress
Your party is finess

Charming, darling
