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 againShe 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 aroundThe fame famous Jane, the fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
If we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the nameWe 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 gunThey talk about her purity
Then they talk about her grace
They talk about standing on the corner
With an electric violin caseSuddenly 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 endsFame famous Jane, fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
And if we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the nameThe fame famous Jane, the fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
If we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the nameWe've never gotten all details
They'll still remember the nameA sweet Jane
Cool Jane
A proper Jane
My sweet famous Jane
