rate me

Song by Elvis Presley<br /><br>

(words & music by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman)<br>

<br>

Bright light city gonna set my soul<br>

Gonna set my soul on fire<br>

Got a whole lot of money thats ready to burn,<br>

So get those stakes up higher<br>

Theres a thousand pretty women waitin out there<br>

And theyre all livin devil may care<br>

And Im just the devil with love to spare<br>

Viva las vegas, viva las vegas<br>

<br>

How I wish that there were more<br>

Than the twenty-four hours in the day<br>

cause even if there were forty more<br>

I wouldnt sleep a minute away<br>

Oh, theres black jack and poker and the roulette wheel<br>

A fortune won and lost on evry deal<br>

All you needs a strong heart and a nerve of steel<br>

Viva las vegas, viva las vegas<br>

<br>

Viva las vegas with you neon flashin<br>

And your one armbandits crashin<br>

All those hopes down the drain<br>

Viva las vegas turnin day into nighttime<br>

Turnin night into daytime<br>

If you see it once<br>

Youll never be the same again<br>

<br>

Im gonna keep on the run<br>

Im gonna have me some fun<br>

If it costs me my very last dime<br>

If I wind up broke up well<br>

Ill always remember that I had a swingin time<br>

Im gonna give it evrything Ive got<br>

Lady luck please let the dice stay hot<br>

Let me shout a seven with evry shot<br>

Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,<br>

Viva, viva las vegas<br>

<br>
