Jimmy Buffett - First Look lyrics

By: Jimmy Buffett

1986

Fun tickets in my pocket, visions in my brain

Grandfather always told me if I went down

I might never come back again

I studied the language tapes

And I, I read all the books

Still nothing prepared me for my

Very first look

Chorus:

It was my first look

Baby that's all it took

Was my first look

Around

I think I want to go flyin'

But I don't wanna leave the ground

So I'll just cruise on my landing gear

And taxi 'round Rio town

Up to the mountain, down to the sea

Take me to Leblon where the samba queen a-waits for me

Chorus:

It was my first look

That's when I swallowed the hook

On my first look

Around

Amor a primeira vista

Voce nao, quer que o insista

Amor a primeira vista

Reacao quimica (quimica) quimica

Amor a primeira vista

Voce nao, quer que o insista

Amor a primeira vista

Reacao quimica (quimica) quimica

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh

Aah aah

Aah aah

Aah aah

Aah aah

Six days later I was feeling like a missing link (oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)

When my friends told me hey Jimmy

It must have been the hoodlum drink (hoodlum drink)

Now it's time for siestas

And a belly full of rice and beans

And figure if I'm brave enough

To repeat the whole crazy scene

Chorus:

On my first look

That's when I swallowed the hook

On my first look

Around

Amor a primeira vista

Voce nao, quer que o insista

Amor a primeira vista

Reacao quimica (quimica) quimica

Amor a primeira vista

Voce nao, quer que o insista

Amor a primeira vista

Reacao quimica (quimica) quimica
