Viva Las Vegas Lyrics

Viva Las Vegas lyrics

(words & music by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman)
Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that`s ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There`s a thousand pretty women waitin` out there
And 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 the twenty-four hours in the day
`Cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn`t sleep a minute away
Oh, there`s black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev`ry deal
All you need`s a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin`
And your one armbandits crashin`
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turnin` day into nighttime
Turnin` night into daytime
If you see it once
You`ll never be the same again
I`m 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 up well
I`ll always remember that I had a swingin` time
I`m gonna give it ev`rything I`ve got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with ev`ry shot
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas,
Viva, Viva Las Vegas
