Lyrics First Look - Jimmy Buffett

First Look

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
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
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
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
