Sweet Jane
Standin' on a corner,Suitcase in my hand.
Jack's in his corset, says to Jane, who's in her vest,
Me, babe, I'm in a rock n' roll band.
Friday night, s a picture show,
Those were different times.
And the poets studied rules of verse,
And all the ladies rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Now, Jack, he is a banker,
And Jane, she is a clerk.
And the both of them are saving up their money...
Then they come home from work.
Sittin' by the fire...
Radio just played a little classical music for you kids,
The march of the wooden soldiers
And you can hear Jack say
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Some people like to go out dancing
And other people, (like us) they gotta work
And there's always some evil mothers
They'll tell you life is full of dirt.
And the women never really faint,
And the villans always blink their eyes.
And the children are the only ones who blush.
'Cause life is just to die.
But, anyone who has a heart
Wouldn't want to turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played the part
He wouldn't want to turn around and fake it
Sweet Jane
