Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First) John Mellencamp Album: Mr. Happy Go
Lucky
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 the glass with her elegant finger I want to be
what she's drinking, yeah, I just want to be
1-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 (repeat 1)
In the bone colored dawn, me and
Gypsy Scotty are singin' The radio is playing, she left her shoes out in the
rain 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 (repeat 1)
