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 gonna make a wreck out of me

Well, the first time I lose I drink whiskey

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

No

Ooh, Las Vegas ain't no place for a poor boy like me

Every time I hit your crystal city

You know you gonna make a wreck out of me

Well, the Queen of Spades is a friend of mine

The Queen of Hearts is a bitch

Someday when I clean up my mind

I'll find out which is which

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 gonna make a wreck out of me

Instrumental (Electric Guitar)

Well, I spend all night with the dealer

Tryin' to get ahead

Spend all day at the Holyday 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 gonna make a wreck out of me

Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitar)
