Yvette In English Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

He met her in a french cafe 

she slipped in sideways like a cat 

sidelong glances 

what a wary little stray! 

she sticks in his mind like that 

saying, "avez-vous un allumette?" 

with her lips wrapped around a cigarette 

yvette in english saying, 

"please have this 

little bit of instant bliss." 

He's fumbling with her foreign tongue; 

reaching for words and drawing blanks 

a loud mouth is stricken deaf and dumb 

in a bistro on the left bank 

"if i were a painter," picasso said, 

"i'd paint this girl from toe to head!" 

yvette in english saying, 

"please have this 

little bit of instant bliss." 

Burgundy nocturne tips and spills 

they trot along nicely in the spreading stain 

new chills, new thrills 

for the old uphill battle 

how did he wind up here again? 

walking and talking 

touched and scared 

uninsulated wires left bare 

yvette in english going, 

"please have this 

little bit of instant bliss." 

What blew her like a leaf his way? 

(up in the air and down to earth) 

first she flusters 

then she frays 

so quick to question her own worth 

her cigarette burns her fingertips 

as it falls like fireworks she curses it 

then sweetly in english she says, 

"please have this, 

little bit of instant bliss." 

He sees her turn and walk away 

skittering like a cat on stone-- 

her high heels clicking-- 

what a wary little stray! 

she leaves him by the seine alone 

with the black water and the amber lights 

and the bony bridge between left and right 

yvette in english saying, 

"please have this 

little bit of instant bliss."
