Plain Jane Lyrics

Plain Jane
Bobby Darin
Written by Doc Pomus and Marty Shuman,

(#38 in 1959)

My plain Jane never wear no lipstick or paint.
You know she'll never try to be what she ain't.
Come early in the mornin' you can hear the fella's call (woo!)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight so we can have a ball.

(Yes, sir now)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out
tonight
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.


Her mouth's a little too wide and her nose a wee bit long.
And when you take a good look at her her shape seems all wrong.
But she got this little somethin' that's so hard to define;
And I wish that little somethin' was mine, all mine, all mine! (woo!)

And ol' Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come
out tonight.
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.
-----------
(Oh, wee!)
(Oh, Yeah!)
----------
I used to go with glamor girls to worship day and night.
But Plain Jane has a cotton dress and it don't fit her right.
Icould never, never tell 'ya why I love her like I do,
But if you took her out one fine night, you'd feel the same way I do.

(won't cha now)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out
tonight.
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.
I say, spend some time with me.
Woo!, Plain Jane
I love her just the same.
Oh... Plain Jane...

Bobby Darin (May 14, 1936 - December 20, 1973, Bronx NY.) was born Walden Robert Cassotto and was one of the most popular rock and roll American teen idols of the late 1950s. However, he is widely respected for being a multi-talented, versatile performer.

Darin was a very special and talented entertainer. He was a Grammy award winning singer ('Mack The Knife'), a respected member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('Dream Lover', 'Splish Splash', 'If I Were A Carpenter') a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a successful record producer, an Oscar nominated actor and a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.

Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were there son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.
