Sweet Jane lyrics

Spoken

Sung

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

la lala lala la

la lala lala la

la lala lala la

La lala lala la

Easy to set up, entertains the little ones by day and the adults by night.
