Lyrics

Standin' on the corner
 Suitcase in my hand
 Jack is in his corset, Janey's in her vest
 And me, I'm in a rock 'n' roll band
 Riding that Stutz Bearcat Jim
 You know, those 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'll tell you somethin' Jack, he is a banker
 And Jane, she is a clerk
 And both of them save their moneys
 And when, when they come home from work
 Sittin' down by the fire
 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, uh
 Sweet Jane, c'mon baby now
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Some people they like to go out dancing
 And other people, they have to work, just watch me now
 And there's even some evil mothers
 Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
 You know that women never really faint
 And that villans always blink their eyes
 You know children are the only ones who blush
 And that life is just to die
 But, anyone who ever had a heart
 Oh, they wouldn't turn around and break it
 And anyone who ever played a part
 They wouldn't turn around and hate it
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Heavenly wine and roses
 Seem to whisper to her when he smiles
 Heavenly wine and roses
 Seem to whisper to her, hey, when she smiles
 La, la, la, la-la-la
 La, la, la, la-la-la
 La, la, la, la-la-la
 La, la, la, la-la-la
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
 Sweet Jane
