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 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 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 |

Don't look at me, don't touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead Don't get no funny ideas about me Or you'll wish that you were dead That's what I'm thinking she must be thinking The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night She gives me a look from the corner of her eye That says, "Boy, keep acting right." How surprised was I When she leaned over and whispered in my ear Get a leg up Get a leg over boy Get a leg up What's the matter Are you shy, shy, shy? I'm pretty good with first impressions But sometimes I'm not always right I pulled the car to the shoulder of the road To see what she had in mind Want me to spend the night Hey, lover boy you know I will And my best girlfriend that lives down the road Together we will thrill ya And I'm thinking to myself I could be lucky Pierre tonight If I could get a leg up If I could get a leg over boy You know I ain't that handsome But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy The rest of the night went on and on And the moral to this song Don't go making hasty judgments Because sometimes they could be wrong Nothing wrong with a good time Just keep yourself protected, make a list And you can bet your life that the women don't know The little girls are acting like this So the next time a young one moves up And she whispers in your ear Get a leg up Get a leg over boy Get a leg up Now don't you be shy, shy, shy Get a leg up Get a leg over boy You know I ain't that handsome But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy Get a leg up Get a leg over boy Get a leg up Now don't you be shy, shy, shy |

Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town. Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown? This pretty little girl In the worn out clothes That have been hand-me down. Is this your wife, Jackie Brown? With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells so you don't see her frown. Is this your family, Jackie Brown? Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream And giving the world more than it gave you. What ugly truths freedom brings And it hasn't been very kind to you. Is this your life, Jackie Brown? Is this your meal, Jackie Brown? Barely enough, I've seen people throw away more than this out. Is this your home, Jackie Brown? This three room shack With no running water And the bathroom out back. Is this your grave, Jackie Brown? This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took himself out. Is this your dream, Jackie Brown? Going nowhere and nowhere fast We shame ourselves to watch people like this live. But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown? Just another lazy man who couldn't take what was his. One helluva life Jackie Brown. Forevermore, Jackie Brown Amen and amen - Jackie Brown? |
