Plain Jane
Bobby Darin Lyrics
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 morning you can hear the fella's call (woo)
Plain Jane won't you come out tonight so we can have a ball
Plain Jane won't you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight
Plain Jane won't you 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
And I wish that certain something was mine, all mine, all mine
And old Plain Jane won't you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight
Plain Jane won't you come out tonight, spend some time with me
I used to go with glamour girls to worship day and night
But Plain Jane has a cotton dress and it don't fit her right
I could 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
Plain Jane won't you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight
Plain Jane won't you 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

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 their son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

I'm 65 years old I was just old enough to remember Bobby in the late 60s what a tragedy that he died at 38 years old if he would have lived to 60 or 70 God knows what kind of great music he had created he is a true legend my favorite of all time Mack the knife I remember listening to this song when I was 8 years old and I loved it then and even love it more now God bless you DodDarren for keeping your dad's memory alive Steve St Cloud Florida
