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
