Lyrics Tony Bennett

The Riviera

The Riviera

On every street a gay casino

Where continentals sip their vino

And leave their fortunes to chance

The Riviera

Nevada’s number one casino

Where ladies make the play for dino

In that pursuit of romance

Every gay mademoiselle

Is disarming some maharajah

With the daring of her décolletage

Every [?] will be willing to bet you

She’s gonna be what you will get

Ah the Riviera

Where every golden coat of suntan

Has cost the gold of more than one man

Who wasn't warned in advance

He can live like a king

Have a fabulous fling

Then as a token for the dough that he's sunk

He gets a little label slapped on his trunk

The Riviera

The Riviera

Where every golden coat of suntan

Has cost the gold of more than one man

Who wasn't warned in advance

He can live like a king

Have a fabulous fling

Then as a token for the dough that he's sunk

He gets a little label slapped on his trunk

The Riviera
