  			D           G 
I first saw you 
D                G 
You had on blue jeans 
D                   G 
Your eyes couldn't hide 
D    G 
Anything 
  Gm       Em      A7 
I saw you leaving, oh 

   D                       G 
I saw you staring out in space 

D           G 
I next saw you 
D               G 
You was at the party 
D                   G 
Thought you was a dream 
D       G 
Oh so flirty 
Gm    Em             A7 
I     came against 

D             G 
Didn't say excuse 
D                G 
Knew what I was doing 
D               G 
We looked very fine 
D                G 
'Cause we were leaving 

D            G 
Like Saint Joan 
D             G 
Doing a cool jerk 
D      G 
Oh, I want you 
D            G 
Like a Kanga-Roo
