Jolene Janis Ian

[Intro]
Shock shock shock, shock sugar
Shock shock shock, shock sugar
Shock shock shock shock shock sugar
Shock shock shock shock shock sugar

[Verse 1]
Jimmy sits in his room 'til darkness
Then he steps on the street
And she watches and waits at the window
Wondering who he'll meet
It's a wasteland of TV dinners
It's a highway in heat
And there's nothing but time on the table
Clocking the same old beat

[Chorus]
Jolene steps out like the life of the party (Jolene)
High class heels and polka dot sleeves (Jolene)
Wears her hair like a girl in a hurry
Walking and talking and rocking
To the beat of the street

[Verse 2]
There's a crowd at the park on the corner
Jimmy rushes to see
On the ground is a lady in labor
Jimmy forgets how to breathe
And it's coming too fast for a doctor
And the traffic's obscene
And the people are panicked and shouting
"Somebody do something"
