(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 ev'ry 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 ev'rything I've got
  Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
  Let me shout a seven with ev'ry shot
  Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas,
  Viva, Viva Las Vegas
