Sweet Jane

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'n'roll band. Huh!
Ridin' in a stutz-bearcat, jim
Y'know, those were different times!
Oh, all the poet, they studied rules of verse
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes
Sweet jane! Shoa! sweet jane, oh-oh-a! sweet jane!
I'll tell you something
Jack, he is a banker
And jane, she is a clerk
Both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work!
Ooh! Sittin' down by the fire, oh!
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! Some on baby! sweet jane! oh-oh-a! sweet jane!
Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, 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
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
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
That wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part, whoa
And wouldn't turn around and hate it!
Sweet jane. Shoa-oh-oh! sweet jane! sweet jane. sweet jane
Sweet jane. Sweet jane
Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when he smiles
Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when she smiles
La lala lala la, la lala lala la
Sweet jane
Sweet jane
Sweet jane
