Jet, Jet,
Jet, I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told them that you were going to be marrying soon
And jet I thought the only lonely place was on the moon

Jet Jet Jet
Jet was your father as bold as the sergeant major
How come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet
And jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette

Jet Jet Jet
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater… much later

Jet
And Jet I thought the major was a lady suffragette
Jet Jet
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater want Jet to always love me
Ah Mater… much later
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
And Jet I thought that the major was a little lady suffragette

Jet-Jet-Jet
And Jet you know I thought you was a little lady suffragette
Jet
A little lady
My little lady… yes

About Lyrics and Jet by Paul Mccartney

The lyrics for Jet are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1973 song by Paul Mccartney. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Jet have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Jet by Paul Mccartney in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Jet" means the words set to the music of Jet, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Paul Mccartney. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Jet and the lyrics to Jet are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Paul Mccartney who came here looking just for the lyrics to Jet, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
