가사
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Saying : « Avez-vous une allumette ? »
With her lips wrapped around a cigarette
Yvette in English saying, "please have this
Little bit of instant bliss"
[Verse 3]
He's struggling with a foreign tongue
Reaching for words and drawing blanks
A loud mouth is stricken deaf and dumb
In a bistro on the left bank
[Verse 4]
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"
[Verse 5]
Burgundy nocturne tips and spills
They move along nicely in the spreading stain
New chills, new thrills for the old uphill battle
How did he wind up here again?
[Verse 6]
Walking, talking, touched and scared
Uninsulated wires bare
Yvette in English, "Lord, please have this
Little bit of instant bliss"
[Verse 7]
What blew her like a leaf this way?
Up in the air and down to Earth
First she flusters then she frays
So quick to question her own worth
[Verse 8]
Her cigarette burns her fingertips
It falls like fireworks, she curses it
Sweetly in English she says, "please have this
Little bit of instant bliss"
[Verse 9]
He sees her turn and walk away
Skittering like a cat on stone
High heels clicking, what a wary little stray
She leaves him by the Seine alone
[Verse 10]
With black water and amber lights
A bony bridge between left and right
Yvette in English saying, "please have this
Little bit of instant bliss"
Written by: David Crosby, Joni Mitchell
