Jack and Diane Lyrics
A little ditty ’bout Jack & Diane
Two American kids growing up in the heart land
Jack, he’s gonna be a football star
Diane’s debutante, back seat of Jacky’s car
Suckin’ on chilli dog outside the Tastee Freez
Diane sitting on Jacky’s lap
Got his hands between her knees
Jack he says
“Hey, Diane, let’s run off behind a shady tree
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please”
Saying “Oh yeah
Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone”
Saying “Oh yeah
Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone”
They walk on
Jack he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head, and does his best James Dean
“Well then, there, Diane, we ought to run off to the city”
Diane says
“Baby, you ain’t missing nothing”
But Jack he says, yeah
“Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone”
“Oh yeah”
He’s saying “Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone”
Oh, let it rock, let it roll
Let the bible belt come and save my soul
Holdin’ on to sixteen as long as you can
Change is coming ’round real soon
Make us women and men
“Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone”
“Oh yeah”
He’s saying “Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone”
A little ditty ’bout Jack and Diane
Two American kids doin’ the best they can
