First I Look at the Purse Lyrics

[Intro: Bobby Rogers]
What does every man look at first?

[Verse 1]
Some fellas look at the eyes
Some fellas look at the nose
Some fellas look at the size
Some fellas look at the clothes

[Chorus 1]
I don't care if the 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 (Why, oh, why?)
'Cause first I look at the purse

[Verse 2]
Some fellas look the smiles they wear
Some fellas look the legs, that's all
Some fellas look the style of their hair
Some fellas want their waist to be small

[Chorus 2]
I don't care if the teeth are big
I don't care if the legs are big
I don't care if their hair is a wig
Why waste time lookin' at the waistline? (Why, oh, why?)
'Cause first I look at the purse

[Bridge]
A woman can be fine as can be
With kisses sweet as honey
But that don't mean a thing to me
If she ain't got no money
'Cause if the purse is fat (Yeah, yeah)
That's where it's at (Yeah)
Yeah!

[Verse 3]
Some fellas look at the way they walk
The way they swing and sway
Some fellas like the way they talk
And dig the things they say

[Chorus 3]
But I don't care if she wobbles like a duck
Or talk with a lisp
I still think I'm in good luck
If the dollar bills are crisp (Why, oh, why?)
'Cause first I look at the purse

[Outro]
(First I look at the purse) Try to tell you
(First I look at the purse) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(First I look at the purse) Kisses can be as sweet as honey
(First I look at the purse) But I want me some money
(First I look at the purse) She can be covered with a rash
(First I look at the purse) As long as she gots some cash
(First I look at the purse) I want a big fine car
(First I look at the purse) And I want one suit
(First I look at the purse) Like a Hollywood star
