Velvet Underground Album

I was raised in better days, mostly by myself

No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help

Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street

A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say

Hey hey

Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild

Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child

Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black

Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, it's all I heard them say

Hey hey... get in!

Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild

Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child

Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black

Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say

Hey hey... oh!

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; was all I heard them say

Oh... Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; was all I heard them say

Running to and fro, got her hair in a braid,

Always in a terrible fuss

Tellin' everybody all the friends that she's made

Pushing on the crosstown bus

Always got a dime for the record machine

Never lets the music die

Got the best connections in the city say

Anything you care to buy

Sweet Caroline (Sweet sweet Caroline)

Any day she'll be mine (Sweet sweet Caroline)

Any day now, she'll say that she will (Someday she'll be mine)

Living off the land in a fashionable way

Party every other night

Gets the latest clothes from her friend in the trade

Caroline she does it right

See her on the street as she rushes by

Hard to miss her - yeah you bet

Always on the search for the ultimate end

But she hasn't found it yet

Sweet Caroline (Sweet sweet Caroline)

Any day she'll be mine (Sweet sweet Caroline)

Any day now, she'll say that she will (Someday she'll be mine)

La la la la etc.

Running to and fro, got her hair in a braid,

Always in a terrible fuss

Tellin' everybody all the friends that she's made

Pushing on the crosstown bus

Always got a dime for the record machine

Never lets the music die

Got the best connections in the city say

Anything you care to buy

Sweet Caroline (Sweet sweet Caroline)

Any day she'll be mine (Sweet sweet Caroline)

Any day now, she'll say that she will (Someday she'll be mine)
