Viva Las Vegas
Blues Brothers and Friends Lyrics

Bright light city gonna set my soul
The bright city of Las Vegas is going to excite my soul

Gonna set my soul on fire
Las Vegas is going to ignite my passion and energy

Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
I have a lot of money that I'm eager to spend in Las Vegas

So get those stakes up higher
Increase the amount of money I can bet to make the game more exciting

There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
Las Vegas has a wide variety of beautiful women waiting for me

And they're all livin' devil may care
These women live life on the edge, and carefree

And I'm just the devil with love to spare
I am just as adventurous as these women, and have plenty of love to give

Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Hurrah for Las Vegas! What a place!

How I wish that there were more
I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day to spend time in Las Vegas

Than the twenty-four hours in the day
The 24 hours in a day isn't enough time to enjoy everything Las Vegas has to offer

'Cause even if there were forty more
Even if there are 40 more hours in a day, it won't be enough

I wouldn't sleep a minute away
I am too excited to enjoy Las Vegas, and wouldn't want to waste any time sleeping

Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
Las Vegas has an exciting variety of gambling games like blackjack, poker, and roulette

A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal
Each round of gambling could result in winning or losing a large sum of money

All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
To gamble in Las Vegas, you need to be brave and have nerves of steel

Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Hurrah for Las Vegas! What a place!

Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin'
Las Vegas is known for its flashy neon lights and signs

And your one armbandits crashin'
The slot machines in Las Vegas make a crashing noise when they pay out

All those hopes down the drain
Many people have high hopes when they gamble in Las Vegas, but they often end up losing their money

Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Las Vegas is so full of excitement that it can turn daytime into nighttime

Turnin' night into daytime
Conversely, Las Vegas can make nighttime feel like daytime with all its bright lights and activity

If you see it once
If you visit Las Vegas just once

You'll never be the same again
Your experience in Las Vegas will be unforgettable, and you may be forever changed by it

I'm gonna keep on the run
I am going to keep moving and have many adventures while in Las Vegas

I'm gonna have me some fun
I am going to enjoy myself and be free-spirited in Las Vegas

If it costs me my very last dime
I am willing to spend all of my money in Las Vegas, no matter how much it takes

If I wind up broke up well
If I end up losing all my money in Las Vegas

I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time
I will always remember how much fun I had in Las Vegas, even if I lost everything

I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got
I'm going to put all my energy and passion into enjoying Las Vegas to the fullest

Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
I am asking for good luck to be on my side while gambling in Las Vegas

Let me shout a seven with ev'ry shot
When rolling the dice, I hope to hit a seven every time I throw them

Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas,
Hurrah for Las Vegas! What a place!
