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)
