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 sin the blues She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder Christ what she's doing with him 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 Everyones looking but I saw you first On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo Gypsy scottys 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 Everyones looking In the bone colored dawn me and gypsy scotty are singing the radio is playing she left her shoes out in the back He tells me a story about a girl he 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 Everyones looking but I saw you first I saw you first I saw you first
