Lyrics:

Woke up in Scotland yesterday
Found myself on The Mile, weather was vile
Don’t really know if this is quite my scene
But then it clicked just why I’m here   

Make friends with faces that I don’t know
Put on for people, a sweet-ass show
Coffee from cafes and then sing, sing, repeat
It’s a cappella at the Fringe

Oh this has gotta be a good life
This has gotta be a good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Sweat your balls off under bright lights
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Out on the mile at crack of dawn
Those precious stage slots? Probably gone
Where we’ve been for the last few years or so
C Venues, Spaces or Underbelly.

Sometimes there's tension before a show
Sometimes there's mistakes in choreo
But when there’s a standing O at the end of your show
There’s really nothing to complain about

When you're happy like a fool
And really far from sober
Your time just south of Fife
Will really change your life

Oh this has gotta be a good life
This has gotta be a good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
See shows, even they’re real shite
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

At the Fringe
More money is spent on shows and booze than food
At the Fringe
There’ll always be that one group that wears their kilts
At the Fringe
Much pride is fought for on the football pitch
'Cause at the Fringe part of the bliss is doing weird shit like this

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Arthur’s Seat on the last night
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
