Sin City, It's Not!





Las Vegas, often referred to as Sin City
But a far departure from Sodom and Gomorrah
Las Vegas is like Conrad Twitty
 Has more than that place in Florida
Las Vegas, when we get down to the nitty gritty
Has developed a very special formula
People come here for more than the titty
So there’s really no need to warn your ma


In Las Vegas, there’s a lot that’s really pretty
We’ve much more than what’s stuffed in a bra
So, now I want you to take this ditty
And give it to both your ma and pa
Vegas, a place where you may win if you outbid me
Or if you’re a member of Sha Na Na

By Ricky J. Fico



perhaps you need a crutch
Staring at what could
belong to Dolly Parton
You can look but dare not touch

Dressed in polyester,
you resemble Steve Martin
Or a cast member of Starsky and Hutch
A dance upon a floor
reminding you of the North Pole
Perhaps the flow to your heart
is a bit too much

Near the stage is a group
of bachelors fresh off the jet
Ready to roll the dice
after they match your bet
You think it’d be nice
if you could only catch your breath
Go ahead and turn the page,
the show’s not over yet

The guy who just got engaged,
he eyes his favorite pet
A Rhino, a jaguar or a cheetah,
on the prowl without regret
The wino, the glad squire,
and the husband of Lolita
Howling and Shouting
to those with the biggest set

By Ricky J. Fico




You come to Vegas because you hear
there is so much to do
The strip is exciting;
you will really enjoy the view
Chased by the fleet-footed cat
and a crazy horse too


You come to Vegas because this place
has more than your local zoo
Soon as you deplane you’ll realize this world
really belongs to you
You come to Vegas,
you don’t have anything better to do
A sapphire, a diamond
and three cherries waiting for you


Las Vegas, its neon lights
in a luminescent hue
Chasing the fleet-footed cat
and a crazy horse too


Another fine Vegas Ditty by  Ricky  J. Fico
