1
Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand
2
Jack is in his coat, and Jane is her vest, and me
3
I'm in a rock''roll band, huh!
4
Riding in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
5
You know, those were different times!
6
Oh, all the poets, they studied rules of verse
7
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes
8
Sweet Jane! Whoa!
9
Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
10
I'll tell you something
11
Jack, he is a banker
12
And Jane, she is a clerk
13
Both of them save their monies, ha
14
And when, when they come home from work!
15
Oh! Sitting down by the fire, oh!
16
The radio does play
17
The classical music there, Jim
18
"The March of the Wooden Soldiers"
19
All you protest kids
20
You can hear Jack say, "Get ready, ah"
21
Sweet Jane! Come on baby now!
22
Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
23
Some people, they like to go out dancing
24
And other peoples, they have to work
25
Just watch me now!
26
And there's even some evil mothers
27
Well they're going to tell you that everything is just dirt
28
You know that women never really faint
29
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
30
And that, you know, children are the only ones who blush!
31
And that life is just to die!
32
And everyone who ever had a heart, oh
33
That wouldn't turn around and break it
34
And anyone who ever played a part, whoa
35
And wouldn't turn around and hate it!
36
Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh!
37
Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!
38
Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!
39
Heavenly wine and roses
40
Seems to whisper to her when he smiles, ah
41
Heavenly wine and roses
42
Seems to whisper to her when he smiles, hey!
43
La-la-la-la-la-la
44
La-la-la-la-la-la
45
La-la-la-la-la-la
46
La-la-la-la-la-la, oh
47
Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!
48
Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!
49
Sweet Jane!
