First I Look At The Purse Lyrics & Chords By Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen

Spoken:
It's top forty time at the Fillmore West
Once again, you've all waited for this
Our selection of bubblegum music that you've been waiting to hear for a long time
Here's one from ... from 1957
A little soul bubblegum tune
Alright now, a little shifting around here
Queued on my left, a fabulous new group folks
Give them a little break, appearing here for the first time
From the East Bay
The Creeper and the Reapers
Featuring the West Virginia Creeper on the rhythm guitar
Andy Stein on the piano
Asking the musical question, what does every fellow look at first

Some fellas look at the eyes
Some fellas look at the nose
Some fellas look at the size
Some fellas look at the clothes
I don't care if her eyes are red
I don't care if her nose is long
I don't care if she's underfed
I don't care if her clothes are worn
I don't mind
First I look at the purse!

Some fellas look at the smiles they wear
Some fellas look at the legs, that's all
Some fellas look at their wavy hair
Some fellas look if their waste is small
I don't care if her teeth are big
I don't care if her legs are thin
I don't care if her hair's a wig
I mean, why waste time lookin' at the waistline?
I don't mind
First I look at the purse!

A woman can be just as fine as can be,
Have kisses just like honey
But that don't mean a thing to me
If she ain't got any money
But if her purse is fat (hell yeah) that's where it's at

Some fellas like the way they walk
The way they swing and sway
Some fellas like the way they talk
Dig the things they say
I don't care if she wobbles like a duck
Talks with a lisp
I'll say I'm her lover man
If her dollar bills are crisp
I don't mind
First I look at the purse!
I look at the purse
That's right
First I look at the purse!
Why waste time looking at the waistline?
First I look at the purse!
I got everything a man needs: fives, tens, twenties
First I look at the purse!
