Underneath The Streetlight - Joni Mitchell

Yes I do--I love you!

I swear on the stars above I do!

I swear on the streetlight on the corner

Shoving back the shadows!

One shadow cursing

Another shadow laughing

Underneath the streetlight

I don’t know where they’re coming from

I just see 'em passing

Underneath the streetlight.

.

Yes I do--I love you!

I swear on the buildings above I do!

I swear on a billion yellow and T.V. blue windows!

Gayboys with their pants so tight

Out in the neon light

Underneath the street light

A m- m- madman-madman

Kicking over garbage cans

Underneath the streetlight.

.

Yes I do--I love you!

I swear on the blinkin' planes above I do!

I swear on the truck at the stoplight

With his airbrakes moaning!

All night the trucks roll

Up to the tunnel-toll

Underneath the streetlight

They come rollin', rollin'

Rollin' for a living

Underneath the streetlight.

.

Yes I do--I love you!

I swear on the disco sparkle dark I do!

I swear on the be-bop boys

Chasing the black bird

Rock 'n' roll broadcast

Movin' up now full blast

Underneath the streetlight

They come dancin', dancin'

Really rock 'n rollin'

Underneath the streetlight

Yes I do--I love you

I really love you

Yes I do--yes I do

I love you!
