Come live with me and be my love
In Vegas, we'll have glamourous days of
Touring each hotel and casino
From the Mirage, to the Palace and the Great Pink Flamingo
The shopping is great, all you can buy
Your expense account will never run dry
Not with my credit card in your hand
I'll allow you to shop until you could barely stand
Then back to my stage at the Venetian
I'll show you the secrets of my magic's accretion
You'll see how my slight of hand comes into play
Along with trick hats, cards, and object caches
Backstage, a treat, my one taste of 'beau monde'
You can feast your eyes upon my long magic wand
You may even give it a few waves, if you want
As long as you promise to commit and not taunt
And at the world class buffet, the food couldn't be hotter
With chicken, roast beef, and dollar ninety-nine lobster
Any edible substance in your mind
In Vegas, my love, you'll surely find
On the gambling floor, where I know how to win
Place a bet on roulette or give slots a spin
For you, the jackpot will always appear
As long as I give the staff plenty of 'cheer'
All this can rest in the palm of your hand
Your very own Vegas fantasy land
So if you wish for all the things I speak of
Then Come live with me and be my love
