Contours, The - First I Look At The Purse Lyrics






What does every man 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 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
'Cause first I look at the purse

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

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's a wig
Why waste time lookin' at the waistline?
'Cause first I look at the purse

A woman can be fat as can be
With kisses sweet as honey
But that don't mean a thing to me
If you ain't got no money
'Cause if the purse is fat, that's where it's at

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

But I don't care if she wobble like a duck
Or talk with a lisp, I still think I'm a good lover
If the dollar bills are crisp
'Cause first I look at the purse

First I look at the purse
First I look at the purse
First I look at the purse

    Final fade out line. If me geezer ears don't betray me 'She could be covered in a rash as long as she's got some cash' . OK now while I'm down the basic sentiment here I gotta step up and draw the line at rashes and open sores.

  4. D.... ....

    I am glad to have had the pleasure of dancing to this at the local teen club back in the 60's! It's one of those songs that stays with you after you first hear it.

    Great lyrics by Smokey (and Bobby Rogers). It always makes me laugh.

    n.... g....

    I dunno... " I don't care if she wobbles like a duck
    or talks with a lisp" -- that one's kinda hard to beat...

  12. S.... E....

    John - You NEVER stop going beyond the bar you set from song after song! Thanks for sharing these extended mixes with those of us who really like the songs having been made to last longer than the original single releases. We can't have enough of a good classic Motown tune, can we?
