In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotti 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      She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder   Christ, what she's doing here, she could be dancing with me   She stirs the ice in her glass with her elegant fingers   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 your heart   Everyone's looking but I saw you first      On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo   Gypsy Scotty's driving his big long yellow car   She flies like a bird over his shoulder   She whispers in his ear "Boy, you are my star"      I saw you first, I'm the first one tonight   Yes I saw you first, don't that give me the right?   To move around your heart   Everyone's looking      In the bone colored dawn, me and Gypsy Scotti are singin'   The radio is playin', she left her shoes out in the back   Tells me a story about some goodie knows in Kentucky   He just made that story up, there ain't no girl like that      I saw you first, I'm the first one tonight   Yes I saw you first, don't that give me the right   To move around your heart   Everyone's looking but I saw you first   I saw you first, I saw you first yeah, yeah, yeah
