Lyrics

Her name was Amber. Or was it Ginger?

She worked in Vegas,

Serving coktails at Nero's Palace.

She paid no taxes on her tips,

And wore makeup on her lips,

Like a floozy I once saw on "Dallas".

My spirits sinking, I started drinking,

I wasn't thinking...

At the Palace! At Nero's Palace!

I was in a nightspot in Las Vegas.

At the Palace! At Nero's Palace!

Drunken passion is always in fashion

At the palace...

Her name was Ginger. Or was it Amber?

I awoke in Vegas,

In a hot tub at Nero's Palace.

I had wed a waitress,

A cocktail waitress with a past.

On look and I sobered up fast.

The marriage was ill-fated, unconsummated,

We never even dated.

At the Palace! At Nero's Palace!

I was in a tight spot in Las Vegas.

I fled the Palace! Fled Nero's Palace!

Got her out of the picture, I just had to ditch her

At the Palace! At Nero's Palace!

The song is a parody of "Copacabana" by Barry Manilow.
