Doc Pomus - Viva Las Vegas lyrics

[Verse 1] Bright light city going to set my soul Going to 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 waiting out there And they're all living the devil may care And I'm just the devil with love to spare Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas [Verse 2] How I wish that there were more Than the twenty-four hours in the day 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 every deal All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas [Verse 3] Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashing And your one arm bandits crashing All those hopes down the drain Viva Las Vegas turning day into nighttime Turning night into daytime If you see it once You'll never be the same again [Verse 4] I'm going to keep on the run I'm going to 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 swinging time I'm gonna give it everything I've got Lady luck please let the dice stay hot Let me shout a seven with every shot Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas Viva Las Vegas Viva, Viva Las Vegas
