Standin' on the corner,
suitcase in my hand.
Jack is in his corset
and Jane is in her vest
And me, I'm in a
rock'n'roll band. Huh!
Ridin' in a Stutz Bear Cat,
Jim. You know, those were
different times!
Oh, all the poets they
studied rules of verse and
those ladies they
rolled their eyes.
Sweet Jane! Wooah!
Sweet Jane, oh-wo-ah!
Sweet Jane!
I'll tell you somethin'
Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
Both of them save their
monies, ha! And when,
and when they come home
from work.
Oo-ah,
Sittin' down by the fire,
oh-ah!
The radio does
play the classical music
there, Jim. "The March of
the Wooden Soldiers"
All you protest kids
You can hear Jack say,
Get ready, ah
Sweet Jane!, ah
Come on baby!
Sweet Jane!
Oh-oh-oh-ah!
Sweet Jane!
Some people
they like to go out dancin'
And other peoples,
they have to work.
Just watch me now!
And there's even some evil
mothers. ha ha ha
Well they're gonna tell you
that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women,
never really faint and that
villains always blink
their eyes, woo-ah!
And that, y'know,
children are the only ones
who blush!
And that,
life is just to die!
And, everyone who
ever had a heart. Oh-ah
they wouldn't turn around
and break it.
And anyone who ever
played a part, oh,
they wouldn't turn around
and hate it!
Sweet Jane!
oh woo-ah!
Sweet Jane!
Sweet Jane!
Heavenly wine and roses
seem to whisper to her
when he smiles
Ha! Heavenly
wine and roses
seem to whisper to her
Hey! When she smi-i-iles
La la la la
