Lyrics Sweet Jane - Early Version - The Velvet Underground
Standin'
on
a
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.
Huh.
Ridin'
in
a
Stutz
Bearcat,
Jim
Ya
know,
those
were
different
times
All,
all
the
poets
studied
rules
of
verse
And
those
ladies,
they
rolled
their
eyes
Sweet
Jane,
whoa-uh!
Sweet
Jane,
oh-ho-uh!
Sweet
Jane
I'll
tell
ya
sump'n'
now
Jack,
he
is
a
banker
And
Jane,
she
is
a
clerk
And
both
of
them
save
their
monies
When
they
get
home
from
work
Oooh!
Sittin'
down
by
the
fire,
ohhh!
The
radio
does
play
The
classical
music
there,
Jim
"The
March
of
the
Wooden
Soldiers"
All
you
protest
kids
You
can
hear
Jack
say,
ah
(Get
ready
ya'll)
Sweet
Jane
(C'mon
baby
doll)
Sweet
Jane
oh-oh-oh-oh-uh!
Sweet
Jane
Some
people,
they
like
to
go
out
dancin'
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
You
know
that,
women
never
really
faint
And
that
villains
always
blink
their
eyes,
woo!
And
that,
you
know,
children
are
the
only
ones
who
blush!
And
that,
life
is,
just
to
die
And
anyone
who
ever
had
a
heart,
oh!
They
wouldn't
turn
around
and
break
it
And
anyone
who
ever
played
a
part,
whoa!
They
wouldn't
turn
around
and
hate
it
Sweet
Jane,
whoa-oh-oh!
Sweet
Jane!
Sweet
Jane.
Sweet
Jane.
Sweet
Jane
Sweet
Jane
[This
next
part
is
only
on
the
full
length
version
of
the
song:]
Heavenly
wine
and
roses
Seem
to
whisper
to
her
when
he
smiles
Heavenly
wine
and
roses
Seem
to
whisper
to
her,
hey
when
she
smiles
La

La
lala
lala

lala
lala

Sweet
Jane

Jane
Sweet
Jane
Sweet
