Standing on the corner
Suitcase is in my hand
Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest
And me, I'm in a rock'n'roll band

Ridin'a stutz bearcat, Jim

You know, those were different times
all the poets, they studied rules of verse
And those ladies, they 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
