Viva Las Vegas Songtext
von Mort Shuman

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Gotta whole lotta 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
So Viva Las Vegas, oh Viva Las Vegas

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


There's a blackjack and poker and a roulette wheel
There′s a fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
So Viva Las Vegas, oh Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashin′ and your wild 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

Gonna keep on the run, 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 me a swingin′ time

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
And Viva Las Vegas, oh Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas
Viva, Viva Las Vegas
