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
