First I Look At The Purse Lyrics By The Contours

    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 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 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 wobbles 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
    kisses can be as sweet as honey
    but i want me some money
    she can be covered with a rash
    as long as she gots some cash
    i want a big fine car
