Viva Las Vegas

(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 shout a seven with ev'ry shot

Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,

Viva, viva las vegas
