When You Say Vegas
[CASINO ANNOUNCER, spoken]
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Milano Hotel and Casino is very pleased to welcome
This evening and every evening the legend, the icon, the very soul of Las Vegas: Mr. Buddy Rocky!

[BUDDY ROCKY]
When you say Vegas
You're saying love
You're saying diamond rings
And all the things
That little girls dream of
You're hearing bells go ring ding ding
For me and you
In Las Vegas
The land where dreams come true

When you say Vegas

[SHOWGIRL, spoken]
Vegas!

[BUDDY ROCKY]
You're saying "Yes!"
You're talking Broadway shows, designer clothes
And wow, hey, that's quite a dress
Only suckers go to Foxwoods
Get a clue
And come to Vegas
The land where dreams come true
Put on your tux
Dress her up to her molars
Show her you roll with the highest rollers
Flash some cash, snag a front row seat
It's a night that she won't forget
You might be in the desert, kid
But a girl can still get wet
I'm joking, hey

When you say Vegas
You're saying "bring it on, bring it on"
You're saying fill my heart with beauty and art
And don't quit before I'm gone
You can see Ms. Liza Minelli, Ms. Barbra Streisand, or you can just Miss Celine Dion
You're saying deal me a flush
Hey, sorry mister
How should I know that stripper's your sister
Cash in your chips and thank the stars above
That you're in V-E-G-A-S
And that spells love

[TOMMY KORMAN, spoken]
Home, sweet home!

[JOHNNY SANDWICH, spoken]
Great to back, isn't it boss?
[TOMMY KORMAN, spoken]
And the minute I got off that plane and saw all those slot machines
I just had this warm wonderful feeling

[sung]
Grab a machine and start yankin' that lever

[ENSEMBLE]
Yank that lever

[BUDDY ROCKY]
Chances are swell you'll get lucky forever

[CASINO GOER, spoken]
Jackpot!

[TOMMY KORMAN]
Vegas is, was, and always will be
The hottest of all hot spots

[JOHNNY SANDWICH]
There's some guys been here fifty years
And they're still shoving things in slots

[BUDDY ROCKY, spoken]
What is he talkin' about?!
[BUDDY, TOMMY, & JOHNNY]
When you say Vegas

[ENSEMBLE]
Vegas!

[BUDDY, TOMMY, & JOHNNY]
You're saying

[ALL]
The skies always blue

[JOHNNY SANDWICH]
London's too old

[TOMMY KORMAN]
And Cleveland ain't pretty

[BUDDY ROCKY]
And we got nicer hookers than Jersey City

[BUDDY, TOMMY, & JOHNNY]
There's a whole lot of love in Nevada

[ALL]
Just waiting for you
Some come to Las Vegas

[TOMMY KORMAN]
What I say?

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Las Vegas!

[BUDDY ROCKY]
Lead the way to

[ALL]
Las Vegas

[BUDDY ROCKY]
The land where dreams come true

[TOMMY KORMAN, spoken]
Come on, Las Vegas!

[ALL]
Yeah!
