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
my,  oh  my,
First  I look at the purse! (do D lick)
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?
My,  oh  my,
First  I look at the purse!
 (go right into bridge)
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.
 (Sax Solo over --, --  (2x) chord pattern, then --, --  (2x), EEEEE-AAAAA
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
my,  oh  my
First  I look at the purse!
 First I look at the purse!
 First I look at the purse!
 First I look at the purse!
 (verses below are spoken over --, --  chord pattern with  lick)
 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!
