In a hand painted night
Me and Gypsy Scotty
are partners
At the Hotel Flamingo
Wearin' black market shoes
This loud Cuban band is
crucifyin' 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 doin' with him
She could be dancin' with me
She stirs the ice in her glass
with her elegant finger
I wanna be what she's drinkin'
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 drivin' 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 in your heart
Everyone was lookin'
In the bone colored dawn
Me and Gypsy Scotty
are singin'
Yeah
The radio is playin'
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
But 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 in your heart
Everyone was lookin'
But I saw you first
I saw you first
Hey
I saw you first
Yeah eah eah eah
