(Petula Clark / Pierre Delanoe / Magenta
arranged by Tony Hatch)

Petula Clark
recorded 1965


There's everyone in Las Vegas,
Having some fun in Las Vegas.
Everything's bright,
Stay out all night,
Get in the fight
In Las Vegas.

Playing the cards in Las Vegas,
Gambling hard in Las Vegas.
People in debt
Losing their bet
On the roulette
In Las Vegas.

Cabaret shows,
Everyone goes
Just to be seen,
You know what I mean,
In Las Vegas.

There's rock and roll in Las Vegas,
Plenty of soul in Las Vegas.
People dig bands,
Clapping their hands,
Down at The Sands
In Las Vegas.

Sammy and Dean in Las Vegas,
They're bound to be seen in Las Vegas.
Even Noel Coward
Walks in the crowd,
Singing out loud
In Las Vegas.

Everyone's there,
Nobody cares!
Well you've heard of The Clan,
That's where it began,
In Las Vegas.

You can stay cool in Las Vegas,
Down by the pool in Las Vegas.
Shooting the dice,
Bourbon on ice,
All very nice
In Las Vegas.

New second wife in Las Vegas,
Marry for life in Las Vegas.
Then lead her of course,
Without remorse,
Get a divorce
In Las Vegas.

The money you earn's
Ready to burn,
Everyone knows
That's how it goes
In Las Vegas.

Where's everyone in Las Vegas?
Having some fun in Las Vegas!
Everything's bright,
Stay out all night,
You'll be alright
In Las Vegas.

Get out the minks in Las Vegas,
Have a few drinks in Las Vegas.
Take in a show,
Spend all your dough,
Watch it all go
In Las Vegas.

At night you can play,
Then sleep through the day,
Then 'round about ten,
You're living again,
That's Las Vegas! (in Las Vegas)
That's Las Vegas! (in Las Vegas)
That's Las Vegas! (in Las Vegas)
That's Las Vegas! (in Las Vegas)
That's Las Vegas! (in Las Vegas)...
