Bright-light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lotta 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 a devil with love to spare
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than 24 hours in the day
Even if there were 40 more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need's a strong heart and nerves of steel
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
with your neon flashin'
And your one-armed bandits crashin'
And 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
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 Well, I'll always remember
That I had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady Luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with every shot
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva
Viva Las Vegas
Mr. Swanson! Mr. Swanson!
- Mr. Swanson! Lucky's got the dough! - That's great.
It's like a miracle. A dream coming true!
Well, that's good. Lucky always wanted to race for himself.
He's supposed to meet me back here in Los Angeles. Let's get it crated.
Hey, not so fast now.
Lucky's your friend and partner, but I'm just a plain, ordinary business man.
Until he shows up with the dough, that motor stays right here.
But, Mr. Swanson, he's got the dough!
Look, Shorty, I can't deposit this in my bank account. It's the wrong color.
Hey, Swanny, that motor still for sale?
Yes, Mr. Olson. It's the last one I've got in the shop.
But you can't! Lucky's gonna buy it.
I told you. The first guy who walks in here with the dough buys the motor.
Who's the wild-eyed one?
Lucky Jackson's mechanic.
Well, I might be interested in this motor as a spare.
I'm entering two cars in the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Operator!
Get me Las Vegas, quick!
- Hey, you got room for me? - Sure. Drive right in.
Hey, boss, here comes Lucky Jackson with his entry.
Back right in here, Mr. Jackson.
There we go. Bring it around a little.
This is quite a rig. I never saw anything like it.
It's one of a kind. I built it myself.
- What'll she do? - I don't know yet.
I'm on my way to Los Angeles to pick up a motor. Be back tomorrow.
- Fine. - I'd like to pay in advance, Mr. Baker.
All right.
Thank you.
Well, what do you think of it, Mr. Lucky Jackson?
Well, Elmo Mancini.
The Italian Racing Count. How do you know who I am?
I went three times to watch you drive at the jalopy races at Western Speedway.
- You are brilliant, my friend. - Thanks, coming from the champion.
In Europe. And now I would like to prove myself in your country.
Too bad you're on your way back to Los Angeles.
- I had a proposition to make to you. - Me?
I admire the bravado with which you drive...
and I would like you to drive for me.
You're not gonna drive in the Grand Prix?
I mean, I intend to win.
Now I get it. You wanna use my bravado to block for you...
- so you can come right through. - That's right. I knew you were clever.
Just three things wrong with your proposition.
I don't work for anybody. I never run second to anybody.
And one small thing: I intend to win.
You think you can beat both of us?
I'm gonna try. I'd like to see what you got under here.
Be my guest.
- You have made changes, haven't you? - I got my little secrets.
Yeah, I can tell.
Can you help me, please?
Can we help you? Yes, ma'am.
I'd like you to check my motor. It whistles.
I don't blame it.
- What did you say? - Forgive my friend, Miss. He's young.
We'll be very happy to check your motor.
That's what I call a real sporty model.
Oh, I agree. Beautiful lines.
- Count. - Oh, yes.
That's how I started out, workin' on sports cars.
- Well, no wonder. - Is it serious?
I'll tell you one thing. She got a lucky break when she stopped in here.
- Oh, yes. - Start her up, champ.
Yeah.
Let her rip.
But I simply don't understand.
I'll make it simple. Your motor's broken.
Broke? But it was running fine when I pulled up, except for the whistle.
- Are you sure you're a mechanic? - Sure I'm a mechanic.
You got here just in time because we're gonna have to dismantle this thing.
- Completely. - It might take a whole day.
- A day? - Maybe two.
Well, if you have to. Can you lend me a car until you have mine running?
I'll do better than that. I'll be happy to drive you wherever you wanna go.
And why should you go to all that bother?
Because around here I'm known as your very bothering mechanic.
I'm sure you are.
I'll be right back.
I'm sorry.
Hey!
You fixed it? Very smart. You know what you've done?
- What? - You don't even know the girl's name.
Or do you?
You could've at least taken a look at her registration slip.
- I had no eyes for a registration slip. - I know what your eyes were on.
We don't even know if she lives here or not. She could be a tourist.
Trust my instincts in these matters. She could be in one of the shows.
After all, what difference does it make, my friend?
Unfortunately, you're on your way to Los Angeles and I have to work on my car.
Therefore, we have no time to search for a beautiful girl.
- I guess you're right. - Good luck to you.
Good luck to you too.
I thought you were on your way to Los Angeles?
The same way you were gonna work on your motor, remember?
- Did you find her? - I haven't checked 'em all yet.
We'll find her if it takes all night.
- Shall we go in? - Might as well.
''Welcome Sons of the Lone Star State.''
Looks like they're havin' a good time. Whoops.
Boss, I've done the best l...
I know. Get yourself a drink, or ten.
Thank you.
You have a girl workin' here, about so high?
- With legs incomparable? - I don't know what girls I got.
- But troubles, I got plenty. - What time is the next show?
There isn't gonna be any show until I get these crazy Sons outta here!
Get the girls ready to go on in five minutes.
Fellow Texans!
Sons of the glorious Lone Star state.
Let us pay tribute to some of the names who made Texas...
the most glorious and proud state of the Union.
The memory of noble Sam Houston.
The one and only Davy Crockett!
John Wayne.
Oh, the yellow rose of Texas is the only gal I love
Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above
Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go
I'll remember her forever because I love her so
There are so many roses that bloom along the way
But my heart's in Amarillo and that's where it will stay
Oh, the yellow rose of Texas is the only gal I love
Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above
Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go
I'll remember her forever because I love her so
The eyes of Texas are upon you
All the livelong day
The eyes of Texas are upon you
You cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn
The eyes of Texas are upon you
'Til Gabriel blows his horn
The eyes of Texas are upon you
All the livelong day
The eyes of Texas are upon you
You cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn
The eyes of Texas are upon you
'Til Gabriel blows his horn
Bring out the girls.
Come to think of it, we never had a girl that high, legs incomparable.
But we got a gorgeous line of Korean cuties.
''Trust my instincts in these matters, my friend.''
Okay, I trusted your instincts. Where did it get me? Nowhere.
To Texas.
It's not the end of the world, my friend. Tonight is another night.
Tonight I'll be on my way back to Los Angeles.
All right, everybody line up. Watch me.
Be sure you pay strict attention. Watch me very closely.
Now watch me.
Spread.
Step, step.
Swan.
And hook.
Uh, Count. I got to be on my way to Los Angeles now. Can I borrow this?
You're going to take the guitar all the way back to Los Angeles?
- What for? - Kids, let's try it. Get ready.
All right.
Come on. Don't be afraid.
Come on. Right up there.
Go. Good.
Go on. Go ahead.
Very good.
There you go. All the way back. That's right.
Good.
Good morning. I've been lookin' for you all night.
Really? You must be desperate to find a motor that needs fixing.
Yeah.
What I really need is a swimming lesson.
I'm through with swimming lessons for today.
- Great. Why don't you and I go out? - I have other duties, see?
Hey.
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me She loves me
The lady loves me and it shows
In spite of the way she turns up her nose
I'm her ideal Her heart's desire
Under that ice she's burning like fire
She'd like to cuddle up to me
She's playing hard to get
The lady loves me
But she doesn't know it yet
The gentleman has savoir-faire
As much as an elephant or a bear
I'd like to take him for a spin
Back to the zoo to visit his kin
He's got about as much appeal
As a soggy cigarette
The lady loathes him
But he doesn't know it yet
The lady's got a crush on me
The gentleman's crazy obviously
The lady's dying to be kissed
The gentleman needs a psychiatrist
I'd rather kiss a rattlesnake
Or play Russian roulette
The lady loves me
But she doesn't know it yet
She's falling fast
She's on the skids
Both of his heads are flippin' their lids
Tonight she'll hold me in her arms
I'd rather be holding hydrogen bombs
Will someone tell this Romeo
I'm not his Juliet
The lady loves me
But she doesn't know it yet
She wants me
Like poison ivy
Needs me
Like a hole in the head
Anyone can see she's got it bad
Oh, he's mad
The gentleman is an egotist
I'm simply aware I'm hard to resist
He's one man I can learn to hate
How's about having dinner at 8:00
I'd rather dine with Frankenstein
In a moonlight tete-à-tete
The lady loves me
But she doesn't know it yet
Ah, yes, she loves me
Dig that shrinking violet
Oh, she really loves me
Here's one gal you'll never get
She love, love, loves me
Would you like to make a bet
I said, the lady loves me
The gentleman's all wet
- You're using the wrong technique. - No kidding?
Oh, Mr. Jackson, may I have a word with you, please?
Sure. What's the word?
The word, Mr. Jackson, is money.
- Mm-hmm. - You arrived with no luggage and char...
- Hey, Lucky! Hey, partner! - What are you doing here?
I left messages. Swanson's gonna sell the motor unless we pay him now.
We're getting out of here now. Gimme the bill.
- How'd you get wet? Fall in the pool? - Long story.
- Maybe you got it in the room? - Uh-uh.
Some dame roll you?
Now, don't panic, partner. I'll help you.
It's no use, Shorty. The money's gone.
It is?
Left. Very good.
Good, Timmy. Good, good, good.
Good. All right, Timmy, that's enough. You can join the others.
Very good.
- I was watching you teach. Very good. - Thank you.
I've ordered lunch for both of us. Will you join me?
Thank you so much, but I'm on duty right now.
Too bad.
What's this? Some kind of American joke?
No, it's not. He lost all our money.
That's not a tragedy, my friend. Now you can drive for me.
It's looks like we got a job here for a long, long time.
Serve him, Shorty.
Ma'am, would you like a lemonade on the house?
I heard about your money, Lucky. I'm sorry.
- It's only money. - Only money?
- Do you know how hard it is to earn it? - But I won it.
Not win it, but make it.
Well, now that you've got me told, how would you like to go out with me?
- I'm a working girl. - Tomorrow you're not.
I checked already. I'm on the shift that gets off too.
And I got a whole day to spend with you. So?
- So, all right. - Yeah?
Meet me at the University of Nevada tomorrow.
- You must be kidding. - No.
What're they teaching you? How to stack cards?
Look, Rusty, I thought we could go dancing or something.
- Oh, you want to go dancing? - Or something.
- Are you a good dancer? - Try me.
That I will.
Meet me at the University gymnasium tomorrow morning at 9:00.
And we'll dance.
Or something.
Okay, kids, relax.
- Hi. - Hi.
Do you wanna join us?
If I get caught cornering like that, they'll take away my license.
- But you said you wanted to dance. - Not here.
- Are you gonna chicken out? - Yeah. Can we leave?
On one condition.
The kids here have been expecting you to do something, so sing.
I know you can do that.
- Okay. But then we leave? - Right.
Come on, everybody and snap your fingers now
Come on, everybody and clap your hands real loud
Come on, everybody, take a real deep breath and repeat after me
- I love my baby - I love my baby
- Hey, and my baby loves me - My baby loves me
Come on, everybody and whistle this tune right now
Come on, everybody and stomp your feet real loud
Come on, everybody, take a real deep breath and repeat after me
- I love my baby - I love my baby
- Hey, and my baby loves me - My baby loves me
Well, there ain't nothing wrong with the long-haired music
Like Brahms, Beethoven and Bach
I was raised with a guitar in my hands
And I was born to rock
Come on, everybody and turn your head to the left
Come on, everybody and turn your head to the right
Come on, everybody, take a real deep breath and repeat after me
- I love my baby - I love my baby
- Hey, and my baby loves me - My baby loves me
Well, there ain't nothing wrong with the long-haired music
Like Brahms, Beethoven and Bach
But I was raised with a guitar in my hands
And I was born to rock
Come on, everybody and turn your head to the left
Come on, everybody and turn your head to the right
Come on, everybody, take a real deep breath and repeat after me
- I love my baby - I love my baby
- Hey, and my baby loves me - My baby loves me
- My baby loves me
My baby loves me
I said my baby
Loves me
- Hey, this is fun. - It's the only way to travel.
Oh, that's Hoover Dam.
One of the seven modern civil engineering wonders of this century.
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...
to light up homes 300 miles away?
Well, fly with Rusty Martin and complete your education.
I do sound like a guide.
- Keep going. Where are we going? - That way.
And that's Lake Meade behind the dam. Do you see it?
- Continue, Professor. - All right.
The lake has 550 miles of shoreline...
and that's the marina coming up right there ahead of us.
And there you can go sailing, boating, fishing...
swimming, water-skiing...
- Whoa. You said the magic word. - I did?
Yes, hang on. Here we go.
- Where you from? - Dubuque.
Dubuque. Well, what do you know?
I've never been there, but it's interesting you're from there.
Before you get too attached to Dubuque, we moved there from Chillicothe, Ohio.
Chillicothe, Ohio! How about that. I've never been there either.
Don't fall in love with Chillicothe either...
because before that we lived in Helena, Arkansas, on the Mississippi.
The old Mississippi River. What a great place to be born.
- I wasn't born there. I was born here. - You're kidding?
- Nope. - Now, that's a coincidence.
- What? - That you were born here in Las Vegas...
and after all that traveling, I met you here.
It must mean something.
All it means is my father came here to work on the dam and liked it and stayed.
We live right over here.
I sort of remember Las Vegas was nothing much then.
Just a little place where people came to get married.
Came to get married. Still do, I guess.
I suppose. It's a thing I'm not very much interested in.
Me neither. Guess you got big plans for your future?
You'll probably find it very dull and commonplace, but...
I want to earn enough money to help my father buy a boat.
- A boat? - Yes. He runs a sight-seeing boat now.
You know, my father's the kind of man who doesn't like to work for others.
He wants to work for himself.
He's never had a chance because of raising me.
For a long time, it's just been him and I.
- Your father likes to work for himself? - Mm-hmm.
- Sort of like me. - Oh, he's entirely different.
He's actually more like me; not crazy at all.
Thank you.
- Honey? - Dad.
- Can't I be a little crazy? - Hi, Dad. Lucky, this is my father.
- Mr. Martin. - Hi. How are you?
- Rusty's talked a lot about you. - She has?
I didn't think she'd mention me.
I did mention about you losing your money.
Yeah. Had a good day, you two?
- It was great. - We went sight-seeing, usual things.
Oh, yes, sure.
Did you kids remember to eat lunch?
You didn't? Well, come inside and we'll throw something together.
Thanks, but I better get the copter back.
You kids come over in a copter?
- Don't they cost ten dollars a minute? - The owner is my old Air Force buddy.
He still lets me order him around a little.
Someday soon, I'd like to hear what you have to say about race driving.
- Lf I were younger, I'd take it up too. - Father!
You better take it up with your daughter. She don't think it's safe.
Well, honey, I'll run along. I promised Jake Stiles I'd go bowling.
Father, stop torturing me.
I couldn't eat a thing.
- I never had a better day. - Me too.
Let's don't let it end.
I'll go change.
I give
Give you my heart
Today
Tomorrow
And forever
You'll always be
My love
I give
Give you my heart
Today

Well, I feel all right
Tell me what'd I say
What'd I say
- Hello, Rusty. - Pretty car. I love the color.
Thank you. You enjoy racing?
Well, I don't really know. I suppose you're very good.
Well, I hope I am.
- Is Lucky good? - He's the best since Cal Howard.
Cal Howard? Is he the champion?
- He would have, but he had bad luck. - What do you mean?
His car crashed over a wall.
So, as you see, the good thing to do is to avoid bad luck.
- I guess so. - Rusty.
- Hi. - What are you two talkin' about?
- Rusty was asking about... - We were just discussing drivers.
- We got time. I'll take you for a ride. - You got the motor?
- You better believe it. - You do?
Hey, this way.
Okay, now I'm gonna downshift and bring her up to 5,700 revs.
- What does that mean? - Means we're goin' into a turn.
Hey, okay.
Here's my shift point. Watch me burn up the guy ahead.
- Why? - Because we gotta win, that's why.
Just a few more hundred of these and I'll be racing again... someday.
Someday you'll get smashed up just like Cal Howard.
How'd you know about that?
Look, he was just unlucky, that's all. It's just one of those things.
Unlucky, that's what everybody says.
Honey, I just don't understand this part of you. I really don't.
What do you mean? Rusty, it is me.
Try to understand, it is me.
Then you've got to understand me.
When I get married...
I want a little white house...
with a tree in the front yard...
a real kind of tree with green leaves.
Oh, that.
When I get into the money, we can have a hundred trees and a big white house...
with a four-car garage and everything, because by then I'll be the champ.
I don't want you to be champ.
Don't you think I know every cent you get you'll gamble away...
because it's that motor you want, the Grand Prix, any race?
Any fool would know you won't change.
Not for anybody.
Well, what are you doing home this time of day, honey?
- Do you feel all right? - I never felt better in my life!
Oh, sure, of course. I can see that.
Is it so unusual for a girl to come to her own home...
because she's tired of that hotel and the people in it?
Is it unusual to want peace and quiet?
You answer it, and if it's anybody, I don't want to speak to him!
- Yeah? - For Miss Rusty Martin.
Rusty Martin? A tree?
Yeah, a tree. You want me to put it inside?
No, no, you better not.
It's pretty outdoorsy.
Thanks.
- Rusty, come here. - I'm not interested.
It's not that ''anybody'' you didn't want to see.
It's something he sent you. A little posy.
It should be obvious that I'm completely indifferent to anything this boy...
Oh, it's a tree!
- Daddy, it's a tree! - It sure is.
Oh, I've wronged him.
- I've wronged him terribly. - Sure you have.
The things I said, what I did. I'm so sorry.
All I can do is say so from the bottom of my heart.
You know, Mr. Tree...
we may have a big celebration come Christmas.
You and I can both get lit up.
Lucky! Lucky?
Lucky? Lucky?
Oh, I'm sorry. It's not you.
- Rusty. - Hi.
- Hi, Rusty. - Hi.
If you are free, let's have dinner in my suite tonight.
- No, I couldn't, not after the tree. - Tree?
- What do you think you're doin'? - Hi, Lucky, baby.
You're supposed to be workin'.
- I'm not a waiter and neither are you. - Huh?
The Italian champ couldn't stand us race drivers being waiters...
so he paid off our debt to this joint, so we're free.
You must be out of your mind. We don't want to be...
Help yourself, ladies.
Lucky, I've got to talk to you.
Stop trying to help me and mind your own business.
What are you talking about?
I know about the contest.
But even if you should win, it won't be enough to buy your motor.
With a cash prize, I could win enough to buy a motor.
- Oh, no. - You can take your tree back!
- Tree again? What tree? - I need a tree like I need...
- Just hold on. - You can't do this to me!
Look, Rusty, I could use the money. I'm going to win.
Win? What makes you so sure you're going to win? I'm in the contest too.
- Go ahead, try to win. I don't care. - That's exactly what I'm going to do.
- That's fine. - I hope you lose!
Thanks!
See what you started?
Oh! Didn't you ask me to dinner tonight?
- Yes, of course. - All right.
- François. - Yes?
You are to serve Count Mancini in his suite, as you know.
And discreetly.
Discreetly.
When you are finished serving, vanish.
Because at this moment, musicians take their places behind the screen...
and romantic Italian melodies provide an atmosphere of...
You see, the Count is dining à deux with the beautiful...
manager of our pool.
Bien, Monsieur.
Hey, Frankie. Can you be bought?
You look lovely tonight.
Thank you.
Oh, they're beautiful! Just beautiful!
I've never had a whole spray before.
Thank you.
I have always seen your hair in bright sunlight, Rusty.
I thought it was the loveliest thing I'd ever seen.
But by candlelight, it's softer, even more beautiful.
- Yes, now, back to our conversation. - Conversation?
That we had today, remember? About the racing and drivers.
Oh, yes, our conversation. But let's talk about you first.
- Good evening, folks. - Oh, no.
I thought you'd like to have something to gnaw on.
Potato chips and champagne don't go together.
Oh, they're my favorite.
These candles smell funny.
You don't need 'em anyway. It's bright outside.
Yes, what we were talking about? Why do you want to drive in the Grand Prix?
I want to win it.
- It's my first race in the U.S. - I don't understand...
Don't try to explain because she won't understand.
- You won't understand, baby. - Don't call me ''baby.''
Okay, baby. You want I should open the count, Pop?
- Pop, Count? - Lf you know how.
There's always a first time for everything. You ever had champagne?
Certainly. Hundreds of times.
When this friend of mine, Pauline Wetherby, got married...
and when I was 18 my father and I split a split.
- You were asking why I want to race? - Yes.
It is because racing cars have always been my hobby.
I am a wealthy man. I have nothing to spend my money on.
- Nothing that matters. - That's sad.
But if I met a girl I could love, I would gladly give it up.
Keep my cars as toys. Let Lucky drive them.
He's a very fine driver, but a miserable waiter.
Soup.
- You'd give up racing? - For the girl I love?
Oh, yes.
- We haven't finished. - It was cold. It's no good.
Somebody I know wouldn't give up racing, for a girl or for anything.
- I like the way you think. - Thank you.
It sounds very attractive and so reasonable.
This catfish don't look too healthy, Count. Furry around the edges.
- Bring us another order. - Okay, sure.
If you're gonna get this girl primed, I better open this pop.
- How dare you say that! - I gotta open it.
I feel it in my heart, Rusty.
There comes a time in a man's life when he must put away his toys...
and get on to the more serious business of living.
Definitely.
I agree with you, thoroughly. And it's a pleasure to hear a man's opinion...
and not have to listen to the stubborn ravings of a boy who won't grow up...
That's too much. Where's my regular waiter?
You don't want me, Count?
No. Anybody but you.
Okay.
Take it easy with the pop because I want you to be in shape...
when you lose that talent contest.
Leave it alone. Just get out.
Okay, I'm going. I'm gone.
Good- bye.
Oh, no. Get out!
Just get out. Leave it.
- Get out. Leave it. - Come on, Shorty. He wants to be alone.
I'm sorry. I didn't expect our dinner to turn into a farce.
That's all right.
- Music for you. - Oh, it's beautiful. Just beautiful.
Now I feel at home again.
I can almost believe we are in my villa.
Outside of Naples.
It lies up in the hills.
The air is so soft.
- It warms a man's blood. - It's air-conditioned here.
Flowers tumble over the walls.
Everything's in bloom.
Well, you mustn't judge all America by Las Vegas...
because Las Vegas is in the desert...
and it's summertime now and it's hot.
And it's summertime now and it's hot.
If you think I don't need you Take a look at my eyes
Maybe these ain't raindrops
Falling out of the sky
Since you've been gone
I've been so alone
If you think I don't need you
Then, baby, you're wrong
If you think I don't love you
What could I do
To prove to you, baby
My love is true
I sing the same old song
Since you've been gone
I been so alone
If you think I don't need you
Then, baby, you're wrong
I hate to stop, but we'll be late for the talent contest. Let's go, baby.
- Don't call me... - Baby.
Do you understand what I tried to say?
What you tried to say sounds most attractive.
Thank you. Good luck in the contest.
I need it.
I was just... Yeah.
Wonderful.
You all know our chef, Karl, and his lovely wife...
who will be appearing in the kitchen, only to pay for the broken dishes.
But here's a real treat, fellow employees...
a lovely young lady who comes to us direct...
from a sensational run around our swimming pool...
our very clever and charming pool manager.
Let's all make her welcome. Lovely Rusty Martin.
Let's bring Rusty out.
Mother brought me up as a good little girl
And Mother was always right
She said
Respect your elders as you should, little girl
It pays to be polite
Remember it pays to be polite
Once I met a nice old man upon the village green
I helped him cross the street into his limousine
Next day he sent the biggest brooch I've ever seen
To show his appreciation
Now wasn't that sweet
Well, strange how my fortune seems to grow and grow
Yeah, Mother Dear Mother was right
Daughter, there's no tellin' just how far you can go
Just by bein' polite
- Right? - Right!
Look up there on the ledge.
A man on the very edge.
A big tycoon in Wall Street He said he was in hock
I told him if he didn't jump he could take me to dinner at 8:00
Well, he didn't jump The market went up
And he gave me half his stock
To show his appreciation
All for little ol' me?
What is AT&T?
That's my story The end of my song
Just be polite and you will never go wrong
Love your fellow man and you'll always get along
When it comes to appreciation
Whoa! Look at this! We're really way up there, gang.
Looks like you're the winner so far.
And now, fellow employees...
here is America's foremost waiter, but he may be tomorrow's maitre d'.
Let's welcome, from amongst yourselves...
Lucky Jackson.
Bright-light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lotta 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 a devil with love to spare
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than 24 hours in the day
Even if there were 40 more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need's a strong heart and nerves of steel
Viva Las Vegas
with your neon flashin'
And your one-armed bandits crashin'
And 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
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 Well, I'll always remember
That I had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady Luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with every shot
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva
Viva Las Vegas
Viva
Viva Las Vegas
That was really wonderful. Let's see what the meter says.
It's right up there!
Looks like we got ourselves a tie, huh?
Rusty...
come on out, honey.
And Lucky... Lucky Jackson.
You kids were really wonderful. You were dynamite.
Why don't we decide who the winner is Las Vegas style?
I'll flip a silver dollar. Ladies first.
- Would you pick a toss, Rusty? - Heads.
Okay, here we go.
Tails.
He didn't toss it high enough.
It looks like the winner is Lucky Jackson! Yeah!
We did it, Lucky! We got the motor!
And of course, we do have a second prize for Miss Martin.
Take a look here. How about that?
No, not the girls. They go with me.
But here for you is a genuine, regulation size, beautiful pool table.
Here's a wonderful evening of fun for the entire family: Mom, pop and kids.
How about that?
I never expected anything so beautiful, nor so big.
I'm very happy.
Thank you.
And now the first prize.
First prize? Here we go.
Lucky Jackson, this is yours. This beautiful silver trophy is yours.
You hold it for one year, and next year you hand it to next year's winner.
Wait a minute. That's not all.
You also receive...
Money. Money!
An all-expense-paid two- week honeymoon!
Right here in fabulous Las Vegas. How about that?
Oh, no!
Come on, just one more now.
Very good, kids. Thanks very much.
- Congratulations. - Nice going.
Thank you.
Ask her, Lucky. Go ahead, ask her.
Rusty?
I'll trade you this honeymoon for your pool table, because you don't need it.
I don't need a honeymoon.
Besides, I love it. It's got a lot of practical uses.
She won't loosen up with it, Lucky. She can sell it same as you can.
There's no sense in tryin', Lucky.
We lost our motor.
I think I'll go jump over the dam and take this with me.
Excuse me, folks. It's rescue time.
I need somebody to lean on
I need somebody to
To tell my troubles to
No use denyin'
I'm close to cryin'
But what good
Tell me, what good would my crying do
I need somebody
To help me
Help me forget all those worries on my mind
And when I'm lonely
If someone would only
Wanna be sweet and kind
I need somebody
Won't that somebody
Please, please listen
To my plea
Need that somebody
Won't that somebody
Come running to me
I need somebody to lean on
I'm tired of being unhappy
And so blue
If she came I would hold her
'Cause I need that shoulder to lean on
Yes, I really do
I need somebody
And, baby, that somebody is you
- Buddy, have you seen Shorty? - Nope.
I can't find him. It looks like he ran out and took my car too.
No, that's not the way I want it.
Okay, Mancini, you win.
- You'll drive for me? - No, but I'll work on your car.
Okay, you work on my car, I'll work on your girl.
You mind if I watch?
I've always wanted to take a look at one of these, see how they've changed.
But of course, Mr. Martin. Lucky will explain everything to you.
Oh, well, thanks.
Sure, if it's all right with your daughter.
What has she got to say about it? What are these things?
- It's a carburetor. - Carburetor?
There's three in this car. That's the only change...
Three?
- Well, Father... - Don't bump your head.
I thought you were going fishing.
I'm practically on my way.
Then you can take me with you.
Anybody who marries this girl is a fool.
Hey, Lucky! Lucky! Everybody, look!
I got it! I got the motor! She's a beauty!
- We got it? - She's ours!
We got it! Mancini, did you do this?
Save your gratitude, my friend. Why should I do it?
Did you do it, Rusty?
Me? Do you think I'd have any part of this whole horrible thing?
Stop actin' like a detective and get to work!
Do you really think you can have it done by midnight?
- It's already noon. - We can do it.
- Lf you can use a little help... - Father...
Honey, why don't you go fishing? The fishing is good!
We need a chain, Shorty. Mr. Martin, a hand wrench.
- Hand wrench! - Get the torque wrench.
- On the double. - Here I come.
Beautiful. Yeah. That's not a hand wrench.
Does he love me most or love my rival
Does he love my rival more than me
When the weekend comes he's with my rival
Yes, he's with my rival constantly
And all through the week my competition gets the praise
That style, that pep that body line
There was a time when he praised mine
He's not foolin' me He's with my rival
And I know right where they are
He's carryin' things too far
My rival is a baby blue racing car
I could beat a señorita or a lady of fame
A gold digger with a crazy figure
Beat her at her own game
I'll make you a bet I'd make him forget
A hostess on a jet A sexy brunette
A model from Paris A wealthy heiress
A chick who's a gasser A graduate of Vassar
A socialite who's out all night A famous movie star
A debutante or Charley's aunt A golfer who shoots par
Can't compare the female gender
With a spare or with a fender
Rev it up and listen to it roar
While I watch the clock and walk the floor
He's not foolin' me He's with my rival
And I know right where they are
He's carryin' things too far
My rival is a baby blue racing car
- The wheels are okay. - All right.
Father, I brought you some food, if he'll allow you time to eat it.
I'm sorry, Pop, but why don't you take five?
- Five what? Five days? - Would you get this junk out of here?
This junk happens to be nourishment for my father.
Do you really think your junk is going to be ready in time for midnight?
If you came here to talk, you're wasting time.
If you wanna help, put these on and get to work.
All right. All right, I will.
Hurry up and give me a wrench.
- What wrench? - Go over there in the tool case.
Sure.
Hey!
Rusty, don't touch anything unless I tell you, please.
Where's the cord?
- Put that plug back in there! - Rusty, please stop crossin' the wires!
You're liable to blow us up!
Come here. Let me put you where you won't bother us.
Stop being a father and get the girl out of here before she louses up the race!
- Honey, will you please go fishing? - She can't help it if she's ignorant.
Let her stick around awhile. She might learn somethin' someday.
- Where's the gun? - What does he need a gun for?
- To shoot you with if you don't leave. - A grease gun, over there.
- Is this it? - Yes.
I'm sorry. If we would've gone fishing, none of this would've happened.
- Give me the gun. - Oh!
Oh, no!
Daughters.
Attention in the pits and the garage areas.
Get all the cars to the Grand Prix up to the starting grid now.
There's a few minutes left. Let's bring 'em up.
Good evening, and welcome to the first running of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
We will have television cameras along the circuit...
to bring you this coverage, and also we'll be in communication by telephone.
It won't start!
We did it! Hit it, Lucky!
That's the idea!
At this time, we have not seen Lucky Jackson.
We have gotten word that they're working frantically to get this car ready.
- Let's push it! - Come on, let's push it!
- Push! - Okay, we got it!
- I found a copter to fly the crew! - What crew?
- You, your dad and me! - And me.
Come on, let's go! Come on, Lucky!
Get 'em, Lucky! Come on!
Here comes Lucky Jackson now.
We didn't think he'd make the grid, from the reports we've been getting...
but they're bringing his car up now and he will be in the race.
This course will take in the countryside around Hoover Dam...
Mount Charleston and various points throughout the desert.
Attention, all drivers. Attention, all drivers.
Will you go to your starting positions now, gentlemen?
We'll be starting our countdown...
just as soon as the drivers get into their starting positions...
and it looks like they're there right about now.
...seven, six, five...
four, three...
two, one.
Come on, let's go, Rusty!
- Hurry! - Sit back! Put your seat belt on!
It's 6:10 A.M., ladies and gentlemen...
and right now they're approaching the Hoover Dam.
Everybody's coming through in apparently good order...
as the cars come over the dam, a beautiful sight to see.
Come on! Come on!
Come on!
Come on, Lucky!
Yeah!
We did it! We did it!
Gee, you made a good investment when you put up the money for that motor...
Oh.
- Good luck, my friend. - Thanks.
- Send me a card, champ. - All right.
Bright-light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
