Lyrics:

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

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 looking
But I saw you first

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
She whispers in his ear
Boy, you are my star

But 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 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
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 looking

But I saw you first
I saw you first
I saw you first
