Shabby Chic

I'm just slummin' in Beverly Hills

Sittin' here in Beverly Hills

Starin' at my overdue bills.

Willin' the next paycheck to come

With my positive speech and a bottle of rum.

I'm just chillin' in Beverly Hills.

Sittin' here in Beverly Hills

Wiping dust off the window sills.

Car broke down the other day,

Heaven knows how I'm gonna pay.

I'm just slummin' in Beverly Hills

Oh it's the Shabby Chic life for me, yeah, yeah

Oh it's the Shabby Chic life for me, oh, oh,

Oh it's the Shabby Chic life for me yeah, yeah,

Oh it's the Shabby Chic life for me, oh, oh,

Livin' well beyond my means

Where the bums are wearin' Hilfiger jeans.

How the hell did I get here?

Is there someone who can make it all clear?

I'm just slummin' in Beverly Hills.

I'm just chillin' in Beverly Hills.

I'm just livin' in Beverly Hills.

Oh it's the Shabby Chic life for me, yeah, yeah

Oh it's the Shabby Chic life for me, oh, oh,

Oh it's the Shabby Chic life for me yeah, yeah,

Oh it's the Shabby Chic life for me, oh, oh, oh, oh.

My training is in vocal performance and I love the fact that I'm sharing my writing practice on a platform called "vocal." It's just too perfect. I hope you enjoy!
