lyrics

Janie

I heard so much about Janie
Can’t wait to take a look
I only hope it isn’t raining
It’s too far to be mistook
Ice and beer is for the sunshine
Rum is there for the cold
Taking scotch for the snakes there
The empty bottles knock them cold

Chorus
Walk in a fascinating mystery
Footprints in paradise
And no one seems to go there anymore

Pack the single lens reflex
Gonna shoot some cockatoos
Sounds like a great way to relax
Gonna try and frame the mood
They got muddies on the menu
Main course Mangrove Jack
Take ‘em hook line and sinker
Talk about going back

Chorus

Where is this Janie
Where has she been
Who’s been to see her
Down by the sea
Is it still raining
Where can she be
Do you want to see her
Or is it still me

Heard so much about Janie
Could just about write a book
I only hope I’m not mistaken
Better go and take a look
Ice and beer is for the sunshine
Rum is there for the cold
Better go and talk to Silver
He’ll know as good as gold

Chorus
