Wayne Newton Tribute Song
The King of Las Vegas
When you talk about Las Vegas there's one name that comes to mind
And he's part of all the glitter, all the pretty neon signs
All the night clubs and casinos long to hear him play and sing
When you talk about Las Vegas, Wayne Newton is the King
He grew up in Virginia and like any other kid
He dreamt of fame and fortune, to be good at what he did
So, on an old piano he'd practice every day
He made his mom and dad proud every time they heard him play
Soon he began to travel with his songs and melodies
Just waiting for his big break, how much longer could it be
And though it isn't easy for a young man in his teens
He kept his sights on Vegas and he held on to his dream
He knew it wouldn't be easy and he'd have to pay his dues
So each night in a small club he'd sing out his heart for you
Then finally it happened, funny how you never know
He'd have his shot at stardom, he'd headline a Vegas show
His voice was filled with passion when he took the stage that night
His music shined and sparkled underneath those Vegas lights
And everybody knew it as they watched him play and sing
This young man named Wayne Newton would forever be the King
He' the King of Las Vegas and Las Vegas is his town
And each night he'll entertain you with the hottest show around
And he'll fill the night with magic when they bring those house lights down
He's the King of Las Vegas and Las Vegas is his town
Yes, Wayne Newton is Las Vegas and Las Vegas is his town
