The Invitation / Forever Starts Tonight (Honeymoon In Vegas Broadway Cast Recording)

If you're a betting man
We've got a game for you
A little friendly way to start your Vegas stay
Come play

(spoken)
That's interesting

(spoken)
What?

(spoken)
I got an invitation

(spoken)
What kind of invitation?

(spoken)
From the hotel

If you're a betting man
Then what you want to do
Is have a drink say 'Hi'
'Cause you're our kind of guy
Come play

(spoken)
It's to a low stakes poker game for new guests

Come and meet the pit boss and the Maitre D'
Try the tasty pastries on our tray
And stay
If you're a betting man

(spoken)
I could probably clean up against these yokels

Come up to 1202

(spoken)
Good clean fun right?

Come make a friend, come make a buck
Come play

(spoken)
You wanna play in a poker game? Now?

(spoken)
Think of it this way

Forever starts tonight
And so before forever starts
Let's take a moment
A time to meditate on what forever means
Each in our own way, each alone

Forever starts tonight
But if there's one thing I would wish before it started
I'd want the chance to tell my single life goodbye
Smoking a Stogie, playing some cards

You get a mani-pedi and a Thai massage
Find the pool get started on your tan
Go to the casino give the wheel a spin
Get your shopping in while you can
Because forever starts tonight
And then you're never going anywhere without me
And you'll feel silly that you ever thought to doubt me
We've got a lifetime
Of man-and-wife time
So what's an hour?
We'll be alright
Until forever starts
Tonight

What could be the harm in such a friendly game?
Why deny a man his simple fun?

Thirty-seven shoe stores calling out your name
Spend and feel no shame

Get some sun

(spoken)
But not too much

Because forever

Forever

Starts tonight

Starts tonight

And once you're in my arms
We won't be torn asunder
They may say 'how is she with him?'
Well let 'em wonder
I just need one game
And then there's one dame
I shall endeavour to delight
When forever starts tonight
