Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his coat, and Jane is in her vest,
and me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah!
Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Y'know, those were different times!
Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse
And those ladies, they rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
I'll tell you something Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
And both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work
Ooooh, sittin' down by the fire, oh!
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
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh they wouldn't turn around and hate it!
Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!

Heavenly wine and roses
Seemed to whisper to her
when he smiled
Heavenly wine and roses
seemed to whisper to her
hey baby she smiled.

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Sweet Jane Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane…
