Jane 1903 'Babes In Toyland'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Feb 2004

Oh a sailor's my true love,
and never a new love
will win his heart from me.
Though beauties entrancing,
alluringly glancing will woo him
o'er the sea;
for it's all sorts of girlies he'll meet
the dashing, the tender, the sweet
but as to each maidie he shakes a daydaydie
this answer he will repeat.

Jane! Jane! Jane!
She is the girl who is waiting for me!
Jane! Jane! Jane!
True to my sweetheart I'm going to be.
Vain! Vain! Vain!
All of your efforts to lead us apart,
Jane! Jane! Jane!
'Tis her name reigns supreme in my heart!

There is one that he'll meet with
who's hard to compete with
The over timid maid.
Who trembles and shivers,
and shudders and quivers
of ev'rything afraid.
When to sooth her unending alarm
she'll rush to his sheltering arm.
The way he'll receive her
will startle and grieve her
he'll tell her in accents calm.

Jane! Jane! Jane!
She is the girl who is waiting for me!
Jane! Jane! Jane!
True to my sweetheart I'm going to be.
Vain! Vain! Vain!
All of your efforts to lead us apart,
Jane! Jane! Jane!
'Tis her name reigns supreme in my heart!

There's the girl that can flatter
with sugary patter,
and deep adoring gaze;
whenever you find her,
the men trail behind her,
the poor things can't stand praise.
When to capture say true love she'll try
By praising him up to the sky.
In spite of her cooing
there'll be nothing doing
for to her he will reply.

Jane! Jane! Jane!
She is the girl who is waiting for me!
Jane! Jane! Jane!
True to my sweetheart I'm going to be.
Vain! Vain! Vain!
All of your efforts to lead us apart,
Jane! Jane! Jane!
'Tis her name reigns supreme in my heart!
