[Intro] (Main Riff)
Verse 1
In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the hotel Flamingo wearing black market shoes
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues
Verse 2
She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder
Christ, whatcha doing with him, when you could be dancing with me
She stirs the ice in her glass with her elegant finger
I want to be what she's drinking, yeah, I just want to be
Chorus
I saw you first
I'm the first one tonight
I saw you first
Don't that give me the right
To move around in your heart
Everyone was looking...
Post-Chorus
But I saw you first
Verse 2
On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo
Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car
She flies like a bird over his shoulder
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star
Chorus
I saw you first
I'm the first one tonight
I saw you first
Don't that give me the right
To move around in your heart
Everyone was looking...
Solo
Verse 3
In the bone colored dawn Me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'
The radio is playing, she left her shoes out in the back
He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky
He just made that story up; there ain't no girl like that
Chorus
I saw you first
I'm the first one tonight
I saw you first
Don't that give me the right (ooh-ooh)
To move around in your heart
Everyone was looking...
Riff
Post-Chorus
But I saw you first
I saw you first hey!
I saw you first
yeah yeah-yeah yeah
(fade out)
