This song was inspired by a woman in my writing class at Western Michigan University some years back. She wrote a memoir titled "The Janet Game" where she and her sister during their childhood pretended that both their names were Janet, they had kids, and went shopping together. I found the story humorous and immediately penned this song when class was over. It is peppered with Baby Boomer pop-culture allusions.

On a side note: I purchased BIAB on 11/30/18 and didn't realize there was a forum until recently. So I hope no one minds that I am posting some songs I already recorded over the past several months with BIAB/RB. I am also working on new compositions.

Lyrics

Two Janets
Hanging out at the grocery store,
Griping ‘bout how bad their kids are.
They can’t take it no more.
Sizing up the cucumbers,
Laughing at their spouses
Dreaming ‘bout redecorating
their picket-fenced houses

Have you seen the two Janets
I think I’m in love
They’re from another planet
Scotty, beam me up
I don’t want Marsha
I don’t want Cindy
Just gimme. gimme, gimme, gimme
Two Janets

Two Janets
Teaching kids the alphabet
Scarfing down laxatives
‘Cause their clothes don’t fit
Riding on the laundry cycle
Watching their soaps
Home Shopping Channel bargains
Make their husbands go broke

Have you seen the two Janets
I think I’m in love
They’re from another planet
Scotty, beam me up
I don’t want Marsha
I don’t want Cindy
Just gimme. gimme, gimme, gimme
Two Janets

I want both of your love
I want both of your lovin’
Can you bake me a cake
In your Easy-Bake Oven?

Two Janets
Got the same gyne…doctor
Two Janets
Cooking out of Betty Crocker
Hair color changes at night
They talk on the phone
Watching videotapes of Hee-Haw
When nobody’s home

Have you seen the two Janets
I think I’m in love
They’re from another planet
Will they tie me up?
I don’t want Marsha
I don’t want Cindy
Just gimme. gimme, gimme, gimme
Two Janets

Two Janets
What’s in a name?
Two Janets
I wanna be in the Janet Game…
