Standin' on a corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack's in his car, says to Jane, who's in her vest,
And me, I'm in a rock n' roll band.
Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim
You know,those were different times
All the poets studied rows of verse,
And those the ladies rolled their eyes

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane

Now, Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
And the both of them are saving up their moneys
And when they come home from work
Sittin' by the fire
The radio does play
The classical music there, Jim
The march of the wooden soldiers
All you protest kids
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah

Sweet Jane, come on baby,sweet Jane, oh-oh-a,sweet Jane

Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work. Just watch me now
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush
And that, life is, just to die
And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh
That wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part, whoa
And wouldn't turn around and hate it

Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane Sweet Jane

Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to her when he smiles
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to her, hey when she smiles

Lala, lala,lala, lala, lala, lala, lala,lala

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
