+ Show full styles

[Intro - Upbeat, classic big band swing, maybe a theatrical flourish] (Spoken word in an Announcer voice, crisp and confident, with slight reverb) Ladies and gentlemen, boys and ghouls! Prepare to be amazed! Witness the future, built on genius, vision, and a little bit of... well, *everything*! He's the man, the myth, the legend! Mr. Robert House! [Verse 1] In a world that crumbled, turned to dust and ash so gray, There was one man with a vision, to light a brighter day. While others squabbled, clawed and fought, for scraps upon the ground, He was calculating, innovating, where true progress could be found! They called him cold, they called him old, some said he'd lost his mind, But Mr. House had plans for greatness, leaving chaos far behind! [Pre-Chorus] With circuits humming, logic flowing, in his tower, tall and keen, He saw the glitz of old casinos, a grand, technological dream! He didn't need no brawn or muscle, just his intellect so grand, To bring true order to the Strip, the best darn future in the land! [Chorus] Oh, the House! The House that saved Vegas! With his brains and his bucks and his brave Securitrons! He built a paradise where the chaos won't faze us, A shining beacon where the good times roll on! He's a swell guy, a smart guy, with a vision so clear, The House that saved Vegas, banishing all fear! [Verse 2] The NCR might talk of freedom, Caesar's Legion boasts of might, But Mr. House just quietly works, to make everything right! He's got the bots patrolling daily, with their lasers and their charm, Keeping all his cherished citizens, from any single harm! From the high-stakes games to the dazzling lights, his wisdom paves the way, For prosperity and pleasure, every single night and day! [Pre-Chorus] With circuits humming, logic flowing, in his tower, tall and keen, He saw the glitz of old casinos, a grand, technological dream! He didn't need no brawn or muscle, just his intellect so grand, To bring true order to the Strip, the best darn future in the land! [Chorus] Oh, the House! The House that saved Vegas! With his brains and his bucks and his brave Securitrons! He built a paradise where the chaos won't faze us, A shining beacon where the good times roll on! He's a swell guy, a smart guy, with a vision so clear, The House that saved Vegas, banishing all fear! [Bridge] He's got the money, heaps of money, piling up to the sky, Funding every grand endeavor, as the decades quickly fly. His intelligence unmatched, his foresight beyond compare, He sees the future, sharp and clear, floating in the desert air! So raise a glass, ye weary traveler, to the man who holds the key, To a dazzling, golden tomorrow, for you and for me! [Big Band Instrumental Break - jazzy, confident, slightly opulent, maybe a trumpet solo or a rich brass section] [Chorus] Oh, the House! The House that saved Vegas! With his brains and his bucks and his brave Securitrons! He built a paradise where the chaos won't faze us, A shining beacon where the good times roll on! He's a swell guy, a smart guy, with a vision so clear, The House that saved Vegas, banishing all fear! [Outro] (Vocalist with a flourish) Yes, the House! Always a winner! (Big band crescendo, with a final sustained, confident chord) New Vegas! A future built by... Mr. House! (Sound of a slot machine payout or a cash register ding, fading out)
