My American Skirt Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

Thank you very much
I always get a bit nervous when I play the piano in front of people
Uhm, this next song, I wrote on the piano but because I got so
Nervous playing the piano in front of people, I sing it unaccompanied And, ah, it′s my song for America, which is, I always say
A presumptuous thing for a Canadian to write
Considering that Canadians aren't very political in the first place
Even our prime minister isn′t very political

I'm-, I'm wearing my American skirt, which, uh, has on the front
In sequence, an American Eagle and on the back an American art-, artichoke
