Viva Las Vegas (from 'The Last Temptation of Elvis')
Hey, blackjack dealer!
C'mon, hit me, man!
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire
I got a whole lotta money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher
Well, there's a thousand pretty women just waitin' out there
They're all livin' just the devil may care
And I'm just a devil with love to spare
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more than 24 hours in a day
Even if there were 40 more, I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Well, there's blackjack, poker and a roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need is money and nerves of steel
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Well, viva Las Vegas with the neon flashing
And your one-armed bandits crashing
All your hopes down the drain
Yeah, viva Las Vegas turning day into night time
I'm turnin' night into day time if you seen it once
You'll never be the same again, whoa!
Johnny, I'm going to the craps table to throw some die
Ah, c'mon sweet sugar
Ah, c'mon, give it to me, baby
Hmm, sweetheart!
I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm 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 swinging time
I'm gonna give it every thing I got
Lady Luck, won't you let the dice stay hot?
Let me shoot the seven with every shot
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva, viva Las Vegas
Busted
Hey man, you going anywhere near Bakersfield?
I want a ride back home
C'mon, hit me, man!
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire
I got a whole lotta money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher
Well, there's a thousand pretty women just waitin' out there
They're all livin' just the devil may care
And I'm just a devil with love to spare
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more than 24 hours in a day
Even if there were 40 more, I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Well, there's blackjack, poker and a roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need is money and nerves of steel
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Well, viva Las Vegas with the neon flashing
And your one-armed bandits crashing
All your hopes down the drain
Yeah, viva Las Vegas turning day into night time
I'm turnin' night into day time if you seen it once
You'll never be the same again, whoa!

Hey man, you going anywhere near Bakersfield?
