In France The Kiss On Main Street Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

Downtown 

My darling dimestore thief 

In the War of Independence 

Rock 'n Roll rang sweet as victory 

Under neon signs 

A girl was in bloom 

And a woman was fading 

In a suburban room 

I said, "Take me to the dance" 

"Do you want to dance?" 

"I love to dance" 

And I told him, "They don't take chances 

They seem so removed from romance" 

"They've been broken in churches and schools 

And molded to middle class circumstance" 

And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling 

Downtown 

The dance halls and cafes 

Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart 

Just doing the latest dance craze 

Gail and Louise 

In those push-up brassieres 

Tight dresses and rhinestone rings 

Drinking up the band's beers 

Young love was kissing under bridges 

Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes 

And we were walking down Main Street 

Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays 

"In France they kiss on Main Street" 

"Amour, mama, not cheap display" 

And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling 

Downtown 

In the pinball arcade 

With his head full of pool hall pitches 

And songs from the hit parade 

He'd be singing "Bye, Bye, Love" 

While he's racking up his free play 

Let those rock 'n roll choir boys 

Come and carry us away 

Sometimes Chickie had the car 

Or Ron had a car 

Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hot-wire head 

We'd all go looking for a party 

Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead 

And I'd be kissing in the back seat 

Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said 

And we'd be rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
