- Viva Las Vegas LyricsIt's Viva Las Vegas
Twilight City gonna set my soul
It's gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up high
There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there
They're all waiting, they'll never make air
And I'm just the devil with a lung to spare, so
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
Even if there were forty morning
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh that blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
I'll poach your money lost on every deal
All you need is sonar and nerves of steel, so
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Where the neon signs flash your name
The one arm bandits cash in
All hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas
Turning day into nighttime
Turning night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again
Gotta keep on running, gonna have me some money
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke then, I'll always remember that
I had a swinging time
Oh, I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady Luck's with me, the dice stay hot
Got coke up my nose to dry away the snot, so
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva, Viva Las Vegas, Viva
