Come home to the junior-senior prom
Biggest occasion of the year
And now the time was here
All the girls were going
They all had a date
But what about Jane?
What about Plain Jane?
She wasn't pretty
Kids made fun of her
But she was gentle as a kittens purr
Still, she had to feel the pain
When they called her name
Plain Jane, poor Plain Jane
Oh, how she wanted to go to the prom
But no one would ask Plan Jane
Poor little girl living in a cold, cold world
And lonely she was, lonely as could be
But then the phone rang
Someone asked for Jane
Tears began to flow like rain
But they were tears of joy, the call was from a boy
Asking Jane to the prom
Plain Jane was going to the prom
She was all excited, couldn't wait
Going on her very first date
Spent the whole day getting dressed
Had to look her very best
But now it's half-past eight
Guess her date's gonna be late
Meanwhile, at the prom
Everyone was laughing 'bout the trick they'd played
And the boy who made the call
He was laughing loudest of all
But their joy turned to tears instead
When the morning paper said a girl was dead
Too much pain for a girl with a name Plain Jane
Just too much pain for a girl with a name Plain Jane
Just too much pain for a girl with a name Plain Jane
