You gotta help me out It's all a blur last night We need a taxi 'cause you're hung-over and I'm broke I lost my fake id but you lost the motel key Spare me your freakin' dirty looks Now don't blame me You roll the cash out And get the hell out of town Don't be a baby Remember what you told me Shut up and put your money where your mouth is That's what you get for waking up in Vegas Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now That's what you get for waking up in Vegas Why are these lights so bright Oh, did we get hitched last night, dressed up like Elvis, Why, am I wearing your class ring? Don't call your mother Cause now we're partners in crime Don't be a baby Remember what you told me Shut up and put your money where your mouth is That's what you get for waking up in Vegas Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now That's what you get for waking up in Vegas You got me into this Information overload, situation lost control Send out an S.O.S. And get some cash out We're gonna tear up the town Don't be a baby Remember what you told me Remember what you told me Remember what you told me Told me, you told me, you told me Shut up and put your money where your mouth is That's what you get for waking up in Vegas Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now That's what you get for waking up in Vegas That's what you get baby, shake the glitter, shake, shake, shake the glitter Give me some cash out, baby Give me some cash out, baby
