1986 

Fun tickets in my pocket, visions in my brain 

Grandfather always told me if I went down 

I might never come back again 



I studied the language tapes 

And I, I read all the books 

Still nothing prepared me for my 

Very first look 



Chorus: 

It was my first look 

Baby that's all it took 

Was my first look 

Around 



I think I want to go flyin' 

But I don't wanna leave the ground 

So I'll just cruise on my landing gear 

And taxi 'round Rio town 

Up to the mountain, down to the sea 

Take me to Leblon where the samba queen a-waits for me 



Chorus: 

It was my first look 

That's when I swallowed the hook 

On my first look 

Around 



Amor a primeira vista 

Voce nao, quer que o insista 

Amor a primeira vista 

Reacao quimica (quimica) quimica 



Amor a primeira vista 

Voce nao, quer que o insista 

Amor a primeira vista 

Reacao quimica (quimica) quimica 



Ooh ooh 

Ooh ooh 

Ooh ooh 

Ooh ooh 



Aah aah 

Aah aah 

Aah aah 

Aah aah 



Six days later I was feeling like a missing link (oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo) 

When my friends told me hey Jimmy 

It must have been the hoodlum drink (hoodlum drink) 

Now it's time for siestas 

And a belly full of rice and beans 

And figure if I'm brave enough 

To repeat the whole crazy scene 



Chorus: 

On my first look 

That's when I swallowed the hook 

On my first look 

Around 



Amor a primeira vista 

Voce nao, quer que o insista 

Amor a primeira vista 

Reacao quimica (quimica) quimica 



Amor a primeira vista 

Voce nao, quer que o insista 

Amor a primeira vista 

Reacao quimica (quimica) quimica
