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!
