Bilingual
In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the Hotel Flamingo, wearin' black market shoes
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star
ย
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 looking
ย
In the bone-colored dawn, me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'
ย
The radio is playin', she left her shoes out in the back
ย
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
ย
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'
ย
But I saw you first
I saw you first, hey
I saw you first
ย
Yea-eah
