Las Vegas Man
(Bongorno)
1998
He lives in Cleveland, a common man
He works devising computer plans
With lack of hair and belly of beer
But when he steps on the plane out west
A transformation makes him the best
Women in first class whisper and hear:
Who is that Man? Oh what a hunk!
Now he’s a star, once he was a punk
Who is this dude with the deep and dark tan
He is the cat known as Las Vegas Man
Landing in Vegas, change is complete
Of course he’s got new shine on his feet
Casino time – he steps off his Lear
His driver drops him where the stars all play
The doorman knows him – he knows the way
The doors fly open, the ladies cheer:
[Chorus]
Ready for action, pour him some juice
He’ll take a lady, snowman and deuce
Casino owners will shake in fear
Let’s check the cards now, he’s having fun
Well, yes – of course – he’s got 21
In all of Vegas he has no peer
[Chorus]
He’ll play all night long, no time for rest
No food to live on – it’s just a pest
When the dealer shuffles his fans all jeer
To call this a game would be a big joke
Again, the bank will call itself broke
His fans will now have to shed a tear
[Chorus]
