Viva Las Vegas (From "Army Of The Dead" Soundtrack) Songtext
von Richard Cheese & Allison Crowe

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' the devil may care
And I′m just the devil with love to spare, so

Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Ka-pow!

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
Even if there were forty more
I wouldn′t sleep a minute away, no


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, viva (watch out, Elvis) Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashin'
And your one arm bandits 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 saw what you did there)
(And now, ladies and gentlemen, for you at the microphone, Miss Allison Crowe)

I'm gonna keep on the run
I′m gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime (sing it)
If I wind up broke, oh well
I′ll always remember that I had a swingin' time (oh, shoot)

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, ah
I′m gonna give it everything I've got (yeah)


Ohhh, Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas

Oh, Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva, viva Las Vegas

Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with every shot
I′m gonna give it everything I've got
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need is a strong heart and a nerve of steel

No 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

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
Even if there were forty more
I wouldn′t sleep a minute away

Oh-oh-ohhh Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva, viva Las Vegas
Viva, viva Las Vegas
