I Saw You First (key West Intermezzo)

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

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

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 your heart

Everyone´s lookin

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

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 your heart

Everyone´s lookin

In the bone colored dawn, me and Gypsy Scotty are singin

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

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 your heart

Everyone´s lookin

But I saw you first
