In "Jane" Sparrow sings: ah ent ready yet aha ah now begin to fete aha to "go way go way ....jdleonhardt@gmail.com

lyrics to Jane by Mighty SparrowNEW by: Anonymous
Lyrics from the liner notes of Mighty Sparrow Volume Two
Jane- it is four o'clock in the morning
Jane- hear the neighbour cock how it crowing
Hey man let go mey damn hand
I ain't going home just leave mey alone
chorus:
Ah tell you I ain't ready yet (ah ha)
Ah now begin to fete (ah ha)
Ah having a good time (ah ha)
Don't break up the lime (ah ha)
Go way, go way I intend to stay
Preach Paul I ain't going home at all
Man tell me why you so damn harassing
Yes listen to the band how they jamming
Look here well this is a new year
Let me have mey fun when ah dead ah done.
(chorus)
Pete if you feeling tired and sleepy
Gway, don't worry to come and molest me
Yes Pete the music is so sweet
Doh care how you row- I en going now
(chorus)
Jane if you really think that ah playing
Jane, give me back mey shoes if you staying
I know you go call me locho
But mey own money can't make style on me
(chorus)
(Had to guess on the last line of third verse- it was omitted in the liner notes)
