Night Life

download
(Giant / Baum / Kaye
)


Informação:

Muito embora tenha sido escrita para o filme de Elvis de 1964, Viva Las Vegas, da autoria de Bill Giant, Bernie Baum e Florence Kaye, Night Life foi cortada do filme e permaneceu por lançar durante cinco anos. Elvis gravou a canção no Radio Recorders em julho de 1963. O take 14 foi o escolhido pela RCA para lançar.

 

Letra:
 

Oh, the neons are a gleamin' and the gamblers are a dreamin'
Oh, it's night life, yeah! night life
The chips are a spillin' and it's time to make a killin'
Oh, it's night life, yeah! night life
Oh, the pockets are a-burnin' and the money flies
With dice roll a-turnin' and you'll hit snakes eyes
You can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of
Night life, night life

There's long legged women who will take you for a trimmin', yes, it's night life
Oh, night life
Their lips taste like honey but they're out to spend your money
Yes, it's night life. Oh, yeah!
Just roll that seven and you'll hear them shriek
When seven come eleven it's a lucky streak
You can't beat the drama, the excitement and the glamour
Of the night life, I said the night life

So place your bet, come on, make your play
Though you may regret it at the break of day
I said you can't be a quitter when you're caught up in the glitter of
Night life, night life
Yeah! that night life, good ol' night life
Night life, yes, yes, night life, oh, night life
