Saw You First

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners At the Hotel Flamingo, wearin black market shoes This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder Christ, what's she doing with him she 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 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 lookin But I saw you first 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 Se whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star But I saw you first I'm the first one tonight
