Lyrics

[Intro]
The meaning of life is a dirty martini
In a little tiny bar in a really big city
With the people I love and a skirt that's mini, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
I'm skippin' through town 'cause I'm going somewhere fun
My shoes on the ground make a really good snare drum
Gonna write my number on a napkin
Give it to somebody for the practice
I'm small, but if you're mean to my girls, I'll square up
[Chorus]
The meaning of life is a dirty martini
In a little tiny bar in a really big city
With the people I love and a skirt that's mini, oh yeah, oh yeah
The meaning of life is a dirty martini
When it's hitting just right and I'm getting all giddy
There's a Bowie song on
Everybody, dance with me, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Head out the window like a dog on the ride home
Someone's at work in a different time zone
Gonna eat a second dinner on the counter
Win a couple Grammys in the shower
Said I wouldn't call him tonight
I lied though
[Chorus]
The meaning of life is a dirty martini
In a little tiny bar in a really big city
With the people I love and a skirt that's mini, oh yeah, oh yeah
The meaning of life is a dirty martini
When it's hitting just right and I'm getting all giddy
There's a Bowie song on
Everybody, dance with me, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Bridge]
Oh yeah, can you feel the whimsy?
Oh yeah, are you dancing with me?
Oh yeah, can you feel the whimsy?
Oh yeah
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
[Outro]
The meaning of life is a dirty martini
In the golden hour light when the world looks pretty
Everything is alright when you get a little silly
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
