A little ditty 'bout Jack & Diane
Two American kids growing up in the heart land
Jackie gonna be a football star
Diane debutante in the back seat of Jacky's car
Suckin' on chilli dog outside the Tastee Freez
Diane sitting on Jacky's lap
Got his hands between her knees
Jacky say: "Hey, Diane, let's run off behind a shady tree"
"Dribble off those Bobby Brooks. Let me do what I please"
Saying oh yeah
Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone
Saying oh yeah
Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone
Now walk on
Jack he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head, and does his best James Dean
Well, now then, there, Diane, we ought to run off to the city
Diane says:"Baby, you ain't missing nothing"
But Jack he says:"Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone"
Oh yeah
He says: "life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone"
Oh, let it rock, let it roll
Let the bible belt come and save my soul
Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can
Change is coming 'round real soon
Make us woman and man
Oh yeah
Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone
Oh yeah
I said life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone
A little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane
Two American kids doin' the best they can
