 SWEET JANE- The Velvet Underground
 Standing  on the  corner,  suitcase  in my hand
 Jack is in his coat, and Jane is 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 the 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
 Both of them save their monies, ha
 And when, when they come home from work
 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 wouldn't turn around and hate it!
 Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!
 Sweet  Jane Sweet  Jane
 Sweet Jane Sweet Jane (repeat and fade)

Jack is in his coat, and Jane is 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 the 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
Both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work
Sittin' down by the fire, oh!
The radio does play
The classical music there, Jim

All you protest kids
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah
Sweet Jane!  Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a!  Sweet Jane!
