Nobody knows where she came from
She was everybody's lover and everybody's former friend
With all the known variations
Her story gets told again and again
She was probably born in Hollywood in the era of the king
She hitched hiked highway 61 and got elected queen
She ended up on Bleeker Street down in the underground
Somebody said that she was sweet and the story got around
Fame Famous Jane. Fame Famous Jane.
Fame Famous Jane.
When they've forgotten all the details
They'll still remember her name
We met for the first time in fiction
We saw Jane run. Run Jane run
Now Jane has become an addiction
Jane's gotten serious and she carries a gun
They talk about her purity and they talk about her grace
They talk about her standing on the corner with a violin case
Suddenly she disappeared but she'll be back again
With a brand new face and circumstance and a whole new batch of friends
Meanwhile the rumors circulate and the story never ends
Fame Famous Jane. Fame Famous Jane.
Fame Famous Jane.
When they've forgotten all the details
They'll still remember her name
Fame Famous Jane. Fame Famous Jane.
Fame Famous Jane.
When they've forgotten all the details
They'll still remember her name
When they've forgotten all the details
They'll still remember her name
Sweet Jane
Queen Jane
Approximately my sweet baby Jane
