Lyrics
1. Our gentle Jane
When it comes to brain
Can make quite a show
It’s wicked, you know to flatter me so
She’s cooler than ice
So take my advice
If you’ve a problem
Don’t think twice
Chorus
Leave it to Jane, Jane, Jane
(I don’t know why you should make me plot and plan for you)
She is the girl with brain!
(I always try to do everything I can for you)
No problem you can wish on her gives her a strain
She’ll tackle gaily a score or more daily
If something is on your mind
(And I can see that there is not a doubt of it)
Comfort you soon will find
(Leave it to me, I will soon get you out of it)
If you have started worrying kindly refrain
And just had over the whole thing to Jane
2. I’ve been that way
From a child they say
When she was but two
Our Jane always knew the right thing to do
Her tact and sense
Were simply immense
That’s why we say
With fervor intense
