Lyrics[]
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 waiting out there
And they're all living devil may care
And I'm just the devil with love to spare, so
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
(Ka-pow!)
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
Viva, viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashin'
And your one arm bandits 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 saw watch you did there. And now, ladies and gentlemen, joining me at the microphone, Ms. Allison Crowe!)
I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
(Sing it!)
If I wind up broke, oh well
I'll always remember that I had a real swingin' time
(Aw, shoot!)
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with every shot
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas, Viva, Viva Las Vegas
