Do The Vega

download

(Giant / Baum / Kaye)

Information:
Although Elvis recorded Do The Vega (another attempt to create a new dance hit) for his 1964 film Viva Las Vegas, the song was cut from the final print of the film. The recording session took place in July 1963 at Radio Recorders. Bill Giant, Bernie Baum and Florence Kaye are the composers.

Lyrics:

1. Do the Vega take a chance and do the Vega
If you dance it you'll have fun
The fever gets ya and then I'll bet ya
You'll shake like the sun of a gun

First you make the right connection
Choose the one who's your selection
Though you'll risk your reputation
You'll increase your circulation

1. (repeat)

Roll and keep your shoulders busy
Like a wheel spin 'till you're dizzy
Kick your heels when you've the notion
Shake and shimmy that's the motion

1. 1. (repeat)

Shake like the sun of a gun
Shake like the sun of a gun
Shake like the sun of a gun
