(words & music by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman)
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

How I wish that there were more
Than the 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

Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin´
And your one armbandits 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
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I´ll always remember that I had a swingin´ 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, Viva Las Vegas
