Standin' on the corner, suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest
And me, honey, I'm in a rock and roll band
Riding in a Stutz Bear Cat, Jim
Those were different times
Poets, they studied rules of verse
And those ladies, they rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Now, Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
And both of them save their money
And when they come home from work
Sittin' there by the fire
The radio does play a little classical music there, Jim
"The March of the Wooden Soldiers"
And you can hear Jack say
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Some people like to go out dancin'
There's other people, like me, we gotta work
Now watch me, now
There's even some evil mothers
They'll tell you that life is just made out of dirt
That women never really faint
That villains always blink their eyes
That children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die
But anyone who ever had a heart
Oh, they wouldn't turn around and break it
Anyone who ever played a part
Oh, they wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to him, when she smiles
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to her, whenever he smiles

Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
