Violet (Words & music: Steven Dueker / Peter Norton Lohstroh) Underneath the foliage In its bower set, Loveliest of the flowers of spring Blooms the violet. (Violet, violet, flower of NYU) We will ever sing thy praise, To thee we'll e'er be true. (We'll be true). Recorded: 1968/10/23, first released on Live A Little, Love A Little / Charro! / The Trouble With Girls / Change Of Habit - Double Features, March 27, 1995 Viva Las Vegas (Words & music: Doc Pomus (born: Jerome Solon Felder) / Mort Shuman) Bright light city gonna set my soul, Gonna set my soul on fire. Got a whole lot of money That's ready to burn, So get those stakes up higher. There's a thousand pretty women Waitin' out there, They're all livin', the devil may care, And I'm just the devil with love to spare. So, Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas. How I wish that there were more Than twenty-four hours in the day. Ah, even if there were forty more, Ah, I wouldn't sleep a minute away. Oh, there's black jack and poker And the roulette wheel, A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal. All you need is a strong heart And a nerve of steel, Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashin' And your one-arm bandits crashin' All those hopes down the drain. Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime, Turnin' night into daytime, If you see it once, You'll never be the same again, ah. I'm gonna keep on the run, I'm gonna have me some fun, If it costs me my very last dime, If I wind up broke, ah, well, I'll always remember That I had a swingin' time. Ah, I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got, Lady Luck, please let the dice stay hot. Let me shoot a seven with ev'ry shot. Ah, Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas, Viva, Viva Las Vegas ...
