Standing on the corner Suitcase is in my hand Jack is in his corset, and Jane is in her vest I'm in a rock 'n' roll band Ridin' in a Stutz bear cat, Jim Those were different times The poets they studied rules ofAnd those ladies rolled their eyes You know you sweet Jane Oh now baby, sweet Jane Oh yes sweet Jane Now Jack, he is a banker And Jane, baby she is a clerk And both of them save their money honey When they come home from work Sittin' there by the fire The radio does play the classical music there, kid The march of the wooden soldiers And you can, you can hear Jack say You know he saying, "Sweet Jane Ooh baby, sweet Jane Ah yes sweet Jane" Some people like to go out dancing Whereas other people like us got to work Gotta watch me now and there's even some evil mothers They'll tell you life's just dirt That the pretty women never really faint That villains always blink their eyes That children are the only ones who blush And that life, life is just to die, but I want to tell you something Anyone who has ever had a heart Oh oh wouldn't turn around and break it half Anyone who has ever played a part They're not gonna turn around and hate it You know they're singin', "Sweet Jane Ah sweet Jane Ooh sweet Jane" Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet, sweet, sweet Jane
