G# A# C
Little Janie, she wakes up from a dream
G# A# C
A gun like a jawbone down the waistband of her jeans
Oh, yeah
G# A# C
Mr Sandman, he can recite today's lesson in his sleep
G# A# C
He says there oughta be some kind of law against me going down the street
G# A# C
And little Janie pipes up and she says, she says:
[CHORUS]
D F F C
We're gonna have a real cool time tonight
Yeah, tonight
All right
G# A# C
Down the back of Janie's jeans she had the jawbone of an ass
G# A# C
Mr Sandman, he runs around the corner
G# A# C
Trying to head her off at the pass
G# A# C
He sticks his head over the fence and yells something way too fast
G# A# C
It's today's lesson, yeah, something about the corruption of the working class
G# A# C
Little Janie wakes up on the floor and she says
D F C
We're gonna have a real cool time tonight
Come on
G# A# C
Janie says we're all such a crush of want half-mad with loss
G# A# C
We are violated in our sleep and we weep and we toss and we turn and we burn
G# A# C
We are hypnotised we are cross-eyed we are pimped we are bitched
G# A# C
We are told such monstrous lies
G# A# C
Janie wakes up and she says
D F C
We're gonna have a real cool time tonight
SOLO-Y BIT
G# A# C
Mr Sandman, he has a certain appetite for Janie in repose
G# A# C
He digs her pretty knees and that she is completely naked underneath all her clothes
G# A# C
He likes to congregate around the intersection of Janie's jeans, yeah
G# A# C
Mr Sandman the inseminator he opens her up like a love letter and enters her dreams
G# A# C
Little Janie wakes up and she says
D F C
We're gonna have a real good time tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
D F C
We're gonna have a real good time
D F C
Come on, come on, come on
D F C
We're gonna have a real good time
