|
Standin' on the corner |
|
Suitcase in my hand |
|
Jack is in his corset |
|
Jane is in her vest |
|
And me, I'm in a rock and roll band |
|
Riding us, starts bigger, Jim |
|
You know thoses were different times |
|
All the poets, they studied rules of verse |
|
And those ladies, they rolled their eyes |
|
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane |
|
I tell you something, Jack is a banker |
|
And Jane, She is a clerk |
|
Both of them save their monies |
|
When they come home from work |
|
Sittin' down by the fire |
|
The radio does play the classical music there, Jim |
|
"March of the Wooden Soldiers", all your protests |
|
kid? |
|
And you can hear Jack say |
|
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane |
|
Some people, they like to go out dancing |
|
And other people, they have to work, just watch |
|
me now |
|
There's even some evil mothers |
|
They gonna tell you that |
|
Everything is just dirt |
|
The woman never really faint |
|
That villains always blink their eyes |
|
That children aren't the only ones who blush |
|
And that life is just to die |
|
But anyone who ever had a heart |
|
They wouldn't turn around and break it |
|
And anyone who played a part |
|
They wouldn't turn around and hate it |
|
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane |
|
Sweet Jane ... |
