Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners

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 doin' with him? She could be dancin' with me

She stirs the ice in her glass with her elegant finger

I wanna be what she's drinkin', 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 drivin' 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
