Boho Days
Don't step on Simone, or Renault, or Philip
They're still on living room floor, asleep
Flight was delayed, but they got it so cheap
In Amsterdam
The cat jumped off of the fire escape
He's a little shook up, but he don't have a scrape
Climb up to the roof, let's make a crepe
You bring the jam
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
Bohemia
Shower is in the kitchen, there might be some soap
Dishes in the sink, brush your teeth if you can cope
Toilet is in the closet, you better hope
There's a light bulb in there
Bo bo bo
Dino called yesterday, the rent is overdue
ConEd and New York Telephone are mad too
Better screen the calls for a day or two, or
Caugh up your share, yeah-yeah
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
Bohemia
Revolving door roomates
Prick up your ears
14 people in just four years
Ann, and Max, and Jonathan
And Jonathan and Carrie
David, Tim, no, Tim was just a guest
From june to january
Margaret, Lisa, David, Susie
Stephen, Joe, and Sam
And Elsa, the bill collector's dream
Who is still on the lam
Don't forget the neighboors
Michelle and Gay
More like a family
Than a family, hey
The cats: Lucy, Mr. Beebe
Bouncer, rest his soul
And Finster, who took one look
And stayed four days down on that hole
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
This is the life, bo-bo bo-bo bo
Bohemia
The garbage trucks
Have turned into limousines
Rat infested diners
Now are fancy restaurants
The gallery opens
You know what that means
There goes the neighborhood
Here comes the debutantes
But at 508, the halls are still that dingy brown
508, the walls are cracked or falling down
508, we all know the day it changes
Is the day we all should blow this town
The time is flying
And everything is dying
I thought by know
I'd have a dog, a kid, and wife
The ship is sort of sinking
So let's start drinking
Before we start thinking
"Is this a life?"
Is this a life? Bo-bo bo-bo bo
Is this a life? No-no no-no no
Is this a life? Bo-bo bo-bo bo
Bohemia
Bohemia
Bo-he-mi-a
Bo bo-bo bo
