He met her in a french cafe She slipped in sideways like a cat
Sidelong glances What a straywary little
She sticks in his mind like that
Saying, avez-vous un allumette
With her lips wrapped around cigarettea
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 straylittle
She leaves him by the seine alone
With the black water and amber the lights
And the bony bridge between left and right
Yvette in english saying please have this
Little bit of instant bliss.
