First I Look at the Purse - J. Geils Band

First I Look at the Purse

by the J. Geils Band

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

First I look at the purse!

Some fellas like the smiles they wear

Some fellas like the legs that’s all

Some fellas like the style of their hair

Want their waist to be small.

I don’t care if their legs are thin

I don’t care if their teeth are big

I don’t care if their hair’s a wig

Why waste time lookin’at the waistline?

First I look at the purse!

A woman can be fat as can be,

kisses sweet as honey

But that don’t mean a thing to me If you ain’t got no money

If the purse is fat… 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 they wobble like a…

or talk with a lisp

I still think I’m a good lover

if the dollar bills are crisp

First I look at the purse!

First I look at the purse!

First I look at the purse!

First I look at the purse!

I don’t care if you got yourself a wrap

all I want is your pretty green cash

Bought me a suit, bought me a car

Want me to look like a hollywood star

Money, (Money!) I want money (Money!)

Baby, ain’t no why, baby (Money!)

I need money!

First I look at the purse!

First I look at the purse!

First I look at the purse!

First I look at the purse!
