Viva Las Vegas (1964) Edit

A big tycoon in Wall Street He said he was in hock

A chick who's a gasser A graduate of Vassar

A debutante or Charley's aunt A golfer who shoots par

A fortune won and lost on every deal

A fortune won and lost on every deal

A gold digger with a crazy figure

A hostess on a jet A sexy brunette

A lovely young lady who comes to us direct...

A man on the very edge.

A model from Paris A wealthy heiress

A real kind of tree with green leaves.

A socialite who's out all night A famous movie star

After all, what difference does it make, my friend?

Ah

Ah

Ah

Ah

Ah, Ah Oh, Oh

Ah, Ah Oh, Oh

Ah, shucks

Ah, yes, she loves me

All for little ol' me?

All I can do is say so from the bottom of my heart.

All it means is my father came here to work on the dam and liked it and stayed.

All right

All right

All right, everybody line up. Watch me.

All right.

All right.

All right. All right, I will.

All the livelong day

All the livelong day

All you need's a strong heart and nerves of steel

All you need's a strong heart and nerves of steel

An all expense paid two week honeymoon!

And after all that traveling, I met you here.

And all those hopes down the drain

And all those hopes down the drain

And all through the week my competition gets the praise

And discreetly.

And forever

And forever

And get on to the more serious business of living.

And he gave me half his stock

And hook.

And I got a whole day to spend with you. So?

And I know right where they are

And I know right where they are

And I was born to rock

And I was born to rock

And I would like you to drive for me.

And I'm just a devil with love to spare

And I'm just a devil with love to spare

And I'm just a devil with love to spare

And it looks like they're there right about now.

And it's summertime now and it's hot.

And it's summertime now and it's hot.

And Lucky... Lucky Jackson.

And Mother was always right

And not have to listen to the stubborn ravings of a boy who won't grow up...

And now the first prize.

And now, fellow employees...

And of course, we do have a second prize for Miss Martin.

And one small thing: I intend to win.

And right now they're approaching the Hoover Dam.

And romantic Italian melodies provide an atmosphere of...

And so blue

And that's Lake Meade behind the dam. Do you see it?

And that's the marina coming up right there ahead of us.

And there you can go sailing, boating, fishing...

And we'll dance.

And when I was 18 my father and I split a split.

And when I'm lonely

And why should you go to all that bother?

And you're doin' the

And you're doin' the

And you're doin' the

And you're doin' the

And your one armed bandits crashin'

And your one armed bandits crashin'

And, baby, that somebody is you

Any fool would know you won't change.

Anybody who marries this girl is a fool.

Anyone can see she's got it bad

As a soggy cigarette

As much as an elephant or a bear

As the cars come over the dam, a beautiful sight to see.

Ask her, Lucky. Go ahead, ask her.

At night or early in the morn

At this time, we have not seen Lucky Jackson.

Attention in the pits and the garage areas.

Attention, all drivers. Attention, all drivers.

Baby, shake that thing

Baby, shake that thing

Baby, shake that thing

Baby, shake that thing

Baby, shake that thing now

Back right in here, Mr. Jackson.

Back to the zoo to visit his kin

Be my guest.

Be sure you pay strict attention. Watch me very closely.

Beat her at her own game

Beautiful. Yeah. That's not a hand wrench.

Because around here I'm known as your very bothering mechanic.

Because at this moment, musicians take their places behind the screen...

Because before that we lived in Helena, Arkansas, on the Mississippi.

Because it's that motor you want, the Grand Prix, any race?

Because Las Vegas is in the desert...

Because she's tired of that hotel and the people in it?

Before you get too attached to Dubuque, we moved there from Chillicothe, Ohio.

Before you get too attached to Dubuque, we moved there from Chillicothe, Ohio.

Besides, I love it. It's got a lot of practical uses.

Bien, Monsieur.

Boss, I've done the best l...

Both of his heads are flippin' their lids

Bright light city gonna set my soul

Bright light city gonna set my soul

Bright light city gonna set my soul

Bring out the girls.

Broke? But it was running fine when I pulled up, except for the whistle.

But by candlelight, it's softer, even more beautiful.

But even if you should win, it won't be enough to buy your motor.

But he doesn't know it yet

But here for you is a genuine, regulation size, beautiful pool table.

But here's a real treat, fellow employees...

But I simply don't understand.

But I was raised with a guitar in my hands

But if I met a girl I could love, I would gladly give it up.

But my heart's in Amarillo and that's where it will stay

But of course, Mr. Martin. Lucky will explain everything to you.

But she doesn't know it yet

But she doesn't know it yet

But she doesn't know it yet

But she doesn't know it yet

But she doesn't know it yet

But they're bringing his car up now and he will be in the race.

But we got a gorgeous line of Korean cuties.

But what good

But you can't! Lucky's gonna buy it.

But, Mr. Swanson, he's got the dough!

Cal Howard? Is he the champion?

Came to get married. Still do, I guess.

Can we help you? Yes, ma'am.

Can you help me, please?

Can't compare the female gender

Certainly. Hundreds of times.

Cheek to cheek

Chillicothe, Ohio! How about that. I've never been there either.

Climb

Climb

Come and love your daddy all night long

Come here. Let me put you where you won't bother us.

Come on out, honey.

Come on, everybody and clap your hands real loud

Come on, everybody and snap your fingers now

Come on, everybody and stomp your feet real loud

Come on, everybody and turn your head to the left

Come on, everybody and turn your head to the left

Come on, everybody and turn your head to the right

Come on, everybody and turn your head to the right

Come on, everybody and whistle this tune right now

Come on, everybody, take a real deep breath and repeat after me

Come on, everybody, take a real deep breath and repeat after me

Come on, everybody, take a real deep breath and repeat after me

Come on, everybody, take a real deep breath and repeat after me

Come on, just one more now.

Come on, let's go, Rusty!

Come on, let's go! Come on, Lucky!

Come on, Lucky!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on. Don't be afraid.

Come on. Right up there.

Come running to me

Come to think of it, we never had a girl that high, legs incomparable.

Daughter, there's no tellin' just how far you can go

Daughters.

Definitely.

Did you do it, Rusty?

Did you kids remember to eat lunch?

Dig that shrinking violet

Discreetly.

Do not think you can escape them

Do not think you can escape them

Do you know that it's over 700 feet from the Colorado River below to the top?

Do you know that the dam helps make enough electricity...

Do you really think you can have it done by midnight?

Do you really think your junk is going to be ready in time for midnight?

Do you understand what I tried to say?

Do you wanna join us?

Does he love me most or love my rival

Does he love my rival more than me

Don't fall in love with Chillicothe either...

Don't try to explain because she won't understand.

Don't you think I know every cent you get you'll gamble away...

Dubuque. Well, what do you know?

Even if there were 40 more

Even if there were 40 more

Everybody's coming through in apparently good order...

Everything's in bloom.

Excuse me, folks. It's rescue time.

Falling out of the sky

Father, I brought you some food, if he'll allow you time to eat it.

Father, stop torturing me.

Fellow Texans!

First prize? Here we go.

Flowers tumble over the walls.

For a long time, it's just been him and I.

Four, three...

From a sensational run around our swimming pool...

Gee, you made a good investment when you put up the money for that motor...

Get 'em, Lucky! Come on!

Get all the cars to the Grand Prix up to the starting grid now.

Get the girls ready to go on in five minutes.

Give you my heart

Give you my heart

Go on. Go ahead.

Go. Good.

Gonna set my soul on fire

Gonna set my soul on fire

Gonna set my soul on fire

Good bye.

Good evening, and welcome to the first running of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Good luck to you too.

Good luck to you too.

Good morning. I've been lookin' for you all night.

Good, Timmy. Good, good, good.

Good.

Good. All right, Timmy, that's enough. You can join the others.

Got a whole lotta money that's ready to burn

Got a whole lotta money that's ready to burn

Got a whole lotta money that's ready to burn

Hardly move

Hardly move

Hardly move

Hardly move

He didn't toss it high enough.

He still lets me order him around a little.

He wants to work for himself.

He's a very fine driver, but a miserable waiter.

He's actually more like me; not crazy at all.

He's carryin' things too far

He's carryin' things too far

He's got about as much appeal

He's never had a chance because of raising me.

He's not foolin' me He's with my rival

He's not foolin' me He's with my rival

He's one man I can learn to hate

He's supposed to meet me back here in Los Angeles. Let's get it crated.

Help me forget all those worries on my mind

Help yourself, ladies.

Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above

Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above

Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go

Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go

Here comes Lucky Jackson now.

Here is America's foremost waiter, but he may be tomorrow's maitre d'.

Here's a dance

Here's a wonderful evening of fun for the entire family: Mom, pop and kids.

Here's my shift point. Watch me burn up the guy ahead.

Here's one gal you'll never get

Hey, boss, here comes Lucky Jackson with his entry.

Hey, Frankie. Can you be bought?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, Lucky! Lucky! Everybody, look!

Hey, Mama don't you treat me wrong

Hey, not so fast now.

Hey, okay.

Hey, Swanny, that motor still for sale?

Hey, this way.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey.

His car crashed over a wall.

Honey, I just don't understand this part of you. I really don't.

Honey, why don't you go fishing? The fishing is good!

How about that?

How I wish that there were more

How I wish that there were more

How'd you know about that?

How's about having dinner at 8:00

Hurry up and give me a wrench.

I admire the bravado with which you drive...

I agree with you, thoroughly. And it's a pleasure to hear a man's opinion...

I am a wealthy man. I have nothing to spend my money on.

I been so alone

I can almost believe we are in my villa.

I can't find him. It looks like he ran out and took my car too.

I checked already. I'm on the shift that gets off too.

I could beat a seÒorita or a lady of fame

I couldn't eat a thing.

I did mention about you losing your money.

I didn't think she'd mention me.

I do sound like a guide.

I don't blame it.

I don't need a honeymoon.

I don't want you to be champ.

I don't work for anybody. I never run second to anybody.

I feel it in my heart, Rusty.

I give

I give

I got it! I got the motor! She's a beauty!

I hate to stop, but we'll be late for the talent contest. Let's go, baby.

I have always seen your hair in bright sunlight, Rusty.

I heard about your money, Lucky. I'm sorry.

I helped him cross the street into his limousine

I know about the contest.

I know you can do that.

I know. Get yourself a drink, or ten.

I left messages. Swanson's gonna sell the motor unless we pay him now.

I mean, I intend to win.

I need it.

I need somebody

I need somebody

I need somebody

I need somebody to

I need somebody to lean on

I need somebody to lean on

I never expected anything so beautiful, nor so big.

I said my baby

I said my baby

I said, the lady loves me

I sing the same old song

I sort of remember Las Vegas was nothing much then.

I suppose. It's a thing I'm not very much interested in.

I think I'll go jump over the dam and take this with me.

I thought it was the loveliest thing I'd ever seen.

I thought you were going fishing.

I thought you were on your way to Los Angeles?

I thought you'd like to have something to gnaw on.

I told him if he didn't jump he could take me to dinner at 8:00

I told you. The first guy who walks in here with the dough buys the motor.

I want a little white house...

I want to earn enough money to help my father buy a boat.

I want to win it.

I was just... Yeah.

I was raised with a guitar in my hands

I went three times to watch you drive at the jalopy races at Western Speedway.

I wouldn't sleep a minute away

I wouldn't sleep a minute away

I'd like to take him for a spin

I'd like you to check my motor. It whistles.

I'd rather be holding hydrogen bombs

I'd rather dine with Frankenstein

I'd rather kiss a rattlesnake

I'd rather kiss a rattlesnake

I'll be right back.

I'll do better than that. I'll be happy to drive you wherever you wanna go.

I'll flip a silver dollar. Ladies first.

I'll go change.

I'll make it simple. Your motor's broken.

I'll make you a bet I'd make him forget

I'll remember her forever because I love her so

I'll remember her forever because I love her so

I'll tell you one thing. She got a lucky break when she stopped in here.

I'll trade you this honeymoon for your pool table, because you don't need it.

I'm close to cryin'

I'm entering two cars in the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

I'm gonna give it everything I've got

I'm gonna give it everything I've got

I'm gonna keep on the run I'm gonna have me some fun

I'm gonna keep on the run I'm gonna have me some fun

I'm gonna try. I'd like to see what you got under here.

I'm her ideal Her heart's desire

I'm not his Juliet

I'm on my way to Los Angeles to pick up a motor. Be back tomorrow.

I'm practically on my way.

I'm simply aware I'm hard to resist

I'm sorry, Pop, but why don't you take five?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I didn't expect our dinner to turn into a farce.

I'm sorry. If we would've gone fishing, none of this would've happened.

I'm sure you are.

I'm through with swimming lessons for today.

I'm tired of being unhappy

I'm very happy.

I've always wanted to take a look at one of these, see how they've changed.

I've been so alone

I've never been there, but it's interesting you're from there.

I've never had a whole spray before.

I've ordered lunch for both of us. Will you join me?

If I get caught cornering like that, they'll take away my license.

If I wind up broke Well, I'll always remember

If I wind up broke Well, I'll always remember

If I wind up broke Well, I'll always remember

If it costs me my very last dime

If it costs me my very last dime

If it costs me my very last dime

If she came I would hold her

If someone would only

If you are free, let's have dinner in my suite tonight.

If you came here to talk, you're wasting time.

If you see it once you'll never be the same again

If you see it once you'll never be the same again

If you think I don't love you

If you think I don't need you

If you think I don't need you

If you wanna help, put these on and get to work.

If you're gonna get this girl primed, I better open this pop.

In a moonlight tete ‡ tete

In Europe. And now I would like to prove myself in your country.

In spite of the way she turns up her nose

Is it so unusual for a girl to come to her own home...

Is it unusual to want peace and quiet?

It is?

It lies up in the hills.

It looks like the winner is Lucky Jackson! Yeah!

It must mean something.

It pays to be polite

It should be obvious that I'm completely indifferent to anything this boy...

It sounds very attractive and so reasonable.

It won't start!

It's 6:10 A.M., ladies and gentlemen...

It's like a miracle. A dream coming true!

It's looks like we got a job here for a long, long time.

It's no use, Shorty. The money's gone.

It's not that ''anybody'' you didn't want to see.

It's not the end of the world, my friend. Tonight is another night.

It's one of a kind. I built it myself.

It's pretty outdoorsy.

It's right up there!

It's something he sent you. A little posy.

John Wayne.

Just a few more hundred of these and I'll be racing again... someday.

Just a little place where people came to get married.

Just a little place where people came to get married.

Just as soon as the drivers get into their starting positions...

Just be polite and you will never go wrong

Just by bein' polite

Just get out. Leave it.

Just three things wrong with your proposition.

Keep my cars as toys. Let Lucky drive them.

Knees to knees

Lady Luck please let the dice stay hot

Lady Luck please let the dice stay hot

Leave it alone. Just get out.

Left. Very good.

Let her rip.

Let her stick around awhile. She might learn somethin' someday.

Let me shoot a seven with every shot

Let me shoot a seven with every shot

Let us pay tribute to some of the names who made Texas...

Let's all make her welcome. Lovely Rusty Martin.

Let's bring Rusty out.

Let's don't let it end.

Let's welcome, from amongst yourselves...

Like a hole in the head

Like Brahms, Beethoven and Bach

Like Brahms, Beethoven and Bach

Like poison ivy

Like poison ivy

Look up there on the ledge.

Look, he was just unlucky, that's all. It's just one of those things.

Look, Rusty, I could use the money. I'm going to win.

Look, Rusty, I thought we could go dancing or something.

Look, Shorty, I can't deposit this in my bank account. It's the wrong color.

Looks like they're havin' a good time. Whoops.

Looks like we got ourselves a tie, huh?

Looks like you're the winner so far.

Love your fellow man and you'll always get along

Loves me

Lucky Jackson, this is yours. This beautiful silver trophy is yours.

Lucky Jackson.

Lucky Jackson's mechanic.

Lucky, I've got to talk to you.

Manager of our pool.

Meet me at the University gymnasium tomorrow morning at 9:00.

Meet me at the University of Nevada tomorrow.

My love is true

My rival is a baby blue racing car

Next day he sent the biggest brooch I've ever seen

No use denyin'

No, it's not. He lost all our money.

No, no, you better not.

No, not the girls. They go with me.

No, that's not the way I want it.

No. Anybody but you.

Nose to nose

Not for anybody.

Not for anybody.

Not win it, but make it.

Now I feel at home again.

Now I get it. You wanna use my bravado to block for you...

Now wasn't that sweet

Now watch me.

Now, don't panic, partner. I'll help you.

Oh

Oh, yes, sure.

Oh, yes.

Oh! Didn't you ask me to dinner tonight?

Oh.

Okay, baby. You want I should open the count, Pop?

Okay, here we go.

Okay, I trusted your instincts. Where did it get me? Nowhere.

Okay, I'm going. I'm gone.

Okay, kids, relax.

Okay, Mancini, you win.

Okay, now I'm gonna downshift and bring her up to 5,700 revs.

Okay, you work on my car, I'll work on your girl.

Okay.

On one condition.

Or do you?

Or play Russian roulette

Round and round

Rusty Martin? A tree?

That was really wonderful. Let's see what the meter says.

That we had today, remember? About the racing and drivers.

That's all right.

That's how I started out, workin' on sports cars.

That's my story The end of my song

That's not a tragedy, my friend. Now you can drive for me.

That's not all. You also receive...

That's the idea!

That's what I call a real sporty model.

The most glorious and proud state of the Union.

The old Mississippi River. What a great place to be born.

The one and only Davy Crockett!

The same way you were gonna work on your motor, remember?

The things I said, what I did. I'm so sorry.

The word, Mr. Jackson, is money.

Then you can take me with you.

Then you've got to understand me.

Then, baby, you're wrong

Then, baby, you're wrong

There are so many roses that bloom along the way

There comes a time in a man's life when he must put away his toys...

There isn't gonna be any show until I get these crazy Sons outta here!

There was a time when he praised mine

There we go. Bring it around a little.

There you go. All the way back. That's right.
