Lyrics

Standing 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 and roll band
 Driving a Stutz Bearcat Jim
 But those were different times
 When all the poets studied rules of verse
 And all the ladies rolled their eyes
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane, yeah
 ♪
 Now Jack he is a banker
 And Jane, she is a clerk
 And they're both saving all their money
 And when they come home from work
 Sitting by the fire
 Radio just play a little classical music for all you cats
 To the march of the wooden soldiers
 And you can hear Jack say
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane, yeah
 Sweet Jane
 ♪
 Now some folks like to go out dancing
 Other people they got to work
 And there always be some evil mother
 Who will tell you life is just full of dirt
 And the women never really faint
 And the villains always blink their eyes
 And the children are the only ones who blush
 And that to live is just to die
 But anyone who ever had a heart
 He wouldn't wanna turn around and break it
 And anyone who ever played a part
 He wouldn't wanna turn around and hate it
 Sweet Jane, yeah
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane (sweet Jane)
 Sweet Jane (sweet Jane)
 Sweet Jane (sweet Jane)
 Sweet Jane (sweet Jane)
 Oh
 ♪
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane (sweet Jane)
 Sweet Jane (sweet Jane)
 Oh, my sweet Jane (sweet Jane)
