George Green - Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First) lyrics

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners At the Hotel Flamingo, wearin' 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 gla** 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 lookin' 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 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' 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 I saw you first Yeah, yeah
