Ooh, las vegas
Ain?t no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, las vegas
Ain?t no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city you know

Second time I lose I drink gin
Third time I lose I drink anything
?cause I think I?m gonna win
Ooh, las vegas
Ain?t no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, las vegas
Ain?t no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city you know
You?re gonna make a wreck outta me

Ooh, las vegas
Ain?t no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, las vegas
Ain?t no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city you know
You?re gonna make a wreck outta me
Well, I spend all night with the dealer
Tryin? to get ahead
Spend all day at the holiday inn
Tryin? to get out of bed
Ooh, las vegas
Ain?t no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, las vegas
Ain?t no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city you know
You?re gonna make a wreck outta me
