Spirit of Vegas - Business As Usual


A major mega-merger
adding Mandalay Resorts Group
To the MGM/Mirage family
And the little man’s on the corner getting the scoop
Of ice cream so he’d have something to give to Channel Three

Las Vegas has the Venetian
built by Sheldon Adelson
And the little man’s on the corner preachin’
Tellin’ us we must pull the handle to win

Another mega-merger,
putting Caesar’s
In the pocket of Harrah’s
On the corner, sits a group of geezers
Owning up to something that was once Yogi Berra’s

The New Frontier, once owned by Phil Ruffin
And the little man’s on the corner
Huffin’ and puffin’ after filling up on muffins
Provided by Little Jack Horner

Mega this and mega that,
big deals grace the pages
Of the Vegas dailies
And the little man on the corner-
a peer among sages
He once worked at Bally's

In Vegas, The Donald has now entered the scene
To hang his shingle
While the man on the corner shares his dream
Of making it home after hitting a single
