Nobody knows where she came from
She was everybody's lover and everybody's former friend
With all of the known variations
Her story get's told again and again
She was probably born in Hollywood in the era of the King
She hitch hiked Highway 61 and got elected Queen
She ended up on Bleeker Street down in the underground
And then somebody there called her sweet, and the story got around
The fame famous Jane, the fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
If we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the name
We met for the first time in fiction
We saw Jane run, so run Jane, run
Jane has become an addiction
You see, Jane's gotten serious and she carries a gun
They talk about her purity
Then they talk about her grace
They talk about standing on the corner
With an electric violin case
Suddenly she disappeared, but she'll be back again
With a brand new face and circumstance
And a whole new batch of friends
But meanwhile the rumors circulate, but the story never ends
Fame famous Jane, fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
And if we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the name
The fame famous Jane, the fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
If we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the name
We've never gotten all details
They'll still remember the name
A sweet Jane
Cool Jane
A proper Jane
My sweet famous Jane
