VIVA LAS VEGAS

Lyrics By Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman

Bright light city

gonna set my soul

gonna set my soul on fire

There's a whole lot a money just

ready to burn so get those stakes up higher

 

There's a thousand pretty women

just waitin' out there

They're all livin Devil may care

and I'm just the Devil with love to spare

 

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

 

How I wish that there were more than 24 hours in a day

But even if there were 40 more

I wouldn't sleep a minute away

There's Blackjack, Poker and the Roulette Wheel

A fortune won and lost on every deal

All you need is money and nerves of steel

 

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

with your neon flashing

And your one-armed bandits crashing

All your hopes down the drain

 

Viva Las Vegas

turning day into night time

turnin 'night into day time

if you've seen it once you'll never be the same again

 

Gonna keep on the run

I'm gonna have me some fun

If it costs me my very last dime

If I wind up broke

well I'll always remember

that I had a swinging time

I'm gonna give it every thing I got

Lady Luck won't you let the dice stay hot

Let me shoot a seven with every shot

 

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Viva

Las Vegas
