Cover art for Viva Las Vegas lyrics by Dead Kennedys

At the start is an extract from the film "Fear and loathing in las vegas".

Here's all the changes made...

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

Bright lights city gonna set my soul It's gonna set my soul on fire Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn So get those stakes up high There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there They're all waiting the Devil may care And I'm just a devil with love to spare, so

VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS!

How I wish that there were more Than the twenty four hours in the day. -----Even if I ran out of speed, boy----- I wouldn't sleep a minute of the way

Oh there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel A fortune won and lost on every deal. ------All you need is sonar and nerves of steel, so------

VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Viva Las Vegas where the neon signs are flashing and The one arm bandits crashing All hopes down the drain. Viva Las Vegas turning day into night time Turning night into daytime If you see it once, you'll never be the same again.

Gotta keep on running Gonna have me some fun If it costs me my very last dime If I wind up broke Then I'll always remember That I had a swingin' time.

Oh, I'm gonna give it everything I've got Lady Luck's with me, the dice stay hot ------Got coke up my nose to dry away the snot, so------

VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA! VIVA! Las Vegas!!!
