[Chorus]
Jet!
Jet!
Jet, I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told 'em that you were gonna be marrying soon
[Pre-Chorus]
And Jet, I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
[Chorus]
Jet! (Ooh)
Jet! (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
Jet, was your father as bold as a Sergeant Major?
Oh, how come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet?
[Pre-Chorus]
And Jet, I thought the Major was a Lady Suffragette
[Chorus]
Jet! (Ooh)
Jet! (Ooh)
[Bridge]
Ah, mater
Want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater
Want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater
Much later
[Instrumental Bridge]
Jet!
[Pre-Chorus]
And Jet, I thought the Major was a little Lady Suffragette
[Chorus]
Jet! (Ooh)
Jet! (Ooh)
[Bridge]
Ah, mater
Want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater
Want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater
Much later
[Verse 3]
Jet, with the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back, and we'll go for a ride in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
And Jet, I thought that the Major was a little Lady Suffragette
[Chorus]
Jet! (Ooh)
Jet! (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
And Jet, you know I thought you was a little Lady Suffragette
[Outro]
Jet! (Ooh)
A little lady
My little lady, yes, oh!
