Well thank you very much
(May be they don't like, maybe they don't like guitar)

Stand on the corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest
And me, I'm in a rock'n'roll band
He ridin'a Stutz Bearcat, jim
Where it goes with different times
Those poets studied rules of verse
And those ladies rolled their eyes
Yeah, send them out
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Now Jacky is a banker
And Jane she is a clerk
And both them save their money
Are reasons when they come home from work
His sittin' near by the fire
The radio does play, little classical music
March of the wooden soldiers
Ah, you can hear Jack say
"You know it, sing it now"
Sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Some people like go out dancing
Then there's other people like us baby
We gotta work
Better watch me now
There's even some evil mothers there out
Tell you lies just me and the dirt
That pretty women never really faint
Villains always blink their eyes
Their children are the only one to blush
That life is just a death
But I'll tell y'all something
Anyone who's had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
Anyone who's ever played a part
They wouldn't, turn around and hate it
We know the singer of sweet, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
And I'll be whining in roses
Saying a whisper to him
When she smiles
Evenly whining in roses
Say the whisper to him
When she smiles
La-la-la-na, la-na-na-na
La-la-la-na, la-na-na-na
La-la-la-na, la-na-na-na
La-la-la-na, la-na-na-na
Sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
I'd like to introduce my band to you
On my right, Michael Rasky
And on the drum is Bob Metachy
And on the electric base Rob Rusmen
And our great crew (yeah, crew)
