Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

How I wish that there were more

Than 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 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 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'm gonna keep on the run, I'm gonna have me some fun

[Verse 4]

If it costs me my very last dime

If I wind up broke 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 shoot a seven with every shot

Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas, viva, viva, Las Vegas
