The Invitation / Forever Starts Tonight

Lyrics

[TOMMY] If you're a betting man We've got a game for you A little friendly way to start your Vegas stay Come play... [JACK, spoken] Interesting [BETSY, spoken] What? [JACK, spoken] I got an invitation [BETSY, spoken] What kind of invitation? [JACK, spoken] From the hotel [TOMMY] 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 [JACK, spoken] To a low-stakes poker game for new guests [TOMMY] 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 [JACK, spoken] I could probably clean up against these yokels [TOMMY] Come up to 1202 [JACK, spoken] Good clean fun, right? [TOMMY] Come make a friend, come make a buck Come play! [BETSY, spoken] You want to play in a poker game? Now? [JACK, spoken] Think of it this way [sung] 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 all right Until forever starts Tonight [TOMMY] What could be the harm in such a friendly game? Why deny a man his simple fun? [JACK & TOMMY] Thirty-seven shoe stores calling out your name! Spend, and feel no shame! [JACK] Get some sun! [TOMMY] But not too much! [JACK] Because forever [TOMMY] Forever [JACK] Starts tonight [TOMMY] Starts tonight [JACK & TOMMY] 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
