The melody in this poem is almost like a slow, passionate Tango!


$Three dollars, Las Vegas and You!$



(HE)
I
have
three dollars in my pocket
and you
my love.

I am a rich man,
a richy, richy rich man;
The most powerful man
in the whole wide world.

(SHE)
- I have a million
hunny
in my heart's bank account.
and this is
what
mostly
counts,
in the whole wide world!

(HE)
In my nation.
The nation of love.
You will be carefree
and happy,
yes hunny happy!


(SHE)

- from the garden of love;
You will eat fruits,
our fruits
and you will live,
forever...


(HE)
I will drink from the waterfall;
I will swim in the waters
of immortality.
We will live as king and a queen.


(SHE)
- Cause in our nation,
our nation of love,
there is nothing else
but you and me
and our love...

(HE)
I have three dollars
in my pocket and you my love.
(SHE)
- I have a million
hunny
in my heart's bank account.

(HE)
Take your passport
and let's hitchhike to
Vegas Las vegas Vegas oh yeah.

(SHE)
-OOOOOO yEs let's get married!
And gamble our fortune
in the russian roulette!

(HE)
Let's play russian roulette
as we kiss!

(SHE)
-What's the odds in the game of love?
What's the odds in the game of life?

(HE)
We are the golden winners,
the odds are in our favour,
because I found you my love
and you found me

(SHE)
-So let's go to Vegas Las Vegas
Let's get lost in the moment
Lets feed our heart and soul
with our love oooo love

(HE)
I have three dollars
in my pocket and you my love.

(SHE)
I have a million
hunny
in my heart's bank account.

(HE AND SHE)
We are the golden winners,
in the game of love and life!
But three dollars it's not enough,
to buy a cupcake
for our restless stomach!

(he)
Back to life!
(she)
Back to reality!
