Goodbye T'Jane, goodbye T'Jane,
She's a dark horse see if she can
Goodbye T'Jane, goodbye T'Jane, painted up like a fancy young man Chorus
She's a queen, can't you see what I mean;
She's a queen
See, see, she's a queen
And I know she's alright, alright, alright, alright
I say you're so young, you're so young
I say you're so young, you're so young
I say you're so young, you're so young I said
Goodbye T'Jane, goodbye T'Jane,
Get a kick from her forties trip boots
Goodbye T'Jane, goodbye T'Jane,
Has them made to match up to her suits Chorus I said
Goodbye T'Jane, goodbye T'Jane,
Like a dark horse see how she ran
Goodbye T'Jane, goodbye T'Jane,
Spits on me cos' she knows that she can Chorus I say you're so young, she's alright, alright, alright, alright.
I say you're so young, you're so young, alright, alright
I say you're so young ...

Female 70s Swiss Threesome Torture Slade's Gudbuy T'Jane (with no irony insight). Best Retro Outsider Discovery of the Year. This languished unremarked and untitled in (my new favorite) YouTuber's back pages, listed only as 'Unknown Swiss Group'. This is the Shags Meets Ricola or the Female Shooby Taylor 'My Three Sons' (the trumpet is the best part) or ...YOU TELL ME!
"Gudbuy T'Jane" was Slade's follow up to their hit single "Mama Weer All Crazee Now". In his autobiography Who's Crazee Now?, bass player and lead vocalist Noddy Holder explained the inspiration for the song. Jane was the co-host of a TV chat show in San Francisco they met on their US tour. They wrote the song in about half an hour, "one of the easiest songs we ever recorded". The line "Got a kick from her '40s trip boots" is a reference to her kicking Holder up the backside when the band were having a laugh at her expense. Jane had bought apair of platform shoes which she called her '40s trip boots, and somehow managed to lose them. "She thought they were original '40s shoes and she told us that she had paid a fortune for them", he said, adding "She was a real loony, a typical San Francisco hippy".

Jim Lee came up with the title; Holder wanted to call it "Hullo T'Jane", which doesn't have the same ring to it. They recorded it in two takes, and, backed by the typically misspelt "I Won't Let It 'Appen Agen", it was released on Polydor, and went on to become a monster hit. The single was produced by Chas Chandler; there was a second track on the A Side, "Take Me Bak 'Ome". The sheet music credits "Gudbuy T'Jane": "Words and Music by Neville Holder and James Lea".
