Lyrics loosely based on "Jane" by Jefferson Starship

I had Charles Bingley dedicate the song to Jane Bennet in

my recent Halloween Mash-up(Jane Bennet countered with Starship's "Count on

Me", which just moves me to weeping). As the song

was still in my head….for Jane Austen's bday(Dec 16th)…

x-x-x-x

JANE (as in JANE AUSTEN!)

x-x-x-x
Jane you say it's never all

over for you and me, girl

There's a time for love and

a time for more love and more love

never ever letting it be!

Jane you've played a game

called forever

called easy to get it's real name

FOREVER!

x-x-x-x

Makin believe that you just

feel the same

Oh, JANE!

Jane played a writing game

she forever won, girl!

She's never staying away just

so we'll ask about Chawton, Bath,

Steventon, Longbourn, Netherfield,

Pemberley, Highbury, Norland, Lyme Regis….

x-x-x-x

Like a cat and a mouse,

like a cat and a mouse

[Jane to Cassandra: I'm

still a cat if I see a mouse"

oh that there were cats in the

novels!]

Jane you say it's never all

over for you and me, girl

From library to library and bedroom to classroom

Don't you pretend you don't know what I'm talking

about

x-x-x-x

We spend all these morning, days, and nights(Knights?)

together(hey, hey!)

only because you knew best

I've gotta know

Jane, you've played a forever game,

you've played a forever game,

JANE, JANE, JANE

x-x-x-x

Oh, Jane you've played a game

of forever loved(by most!)

JANE, you played for fun and love and for keeps!

JANE, JANE, JANE

That's a reading life for me, yeah

It's so plain to see why you are forever

readin' with me, me, me

JANE!
