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
