Janet, the centipede
A hundred feet and a thousand ideas
She wanted to get too far
But her feet just took her too near

Janet, the centipede
Had hundred feet but went nowhere
She used to dream being a movie star
Maybe a role in a Disney musical

She saw her feet in the Walk of Fame
While starring at the wall
And wrote a play to perform on Broadway
While sweeping the leaves on the floor

Janet, the centipede
A thousand feet and a thousand ideas
She wanted to get too far
But her feet just took her too near

She used to write in her diaries
She would marry a millionaire
Filled in sheets and sheets of words
Then locked it up with her clothes

She saw her face in a magazine cover
While washing her boss pullover
And will pose for a billboard photo
After quitting her job at Burger King

Janet, the centipede
A hundred feet and a thousand ideas
She wanted to get too far
But her feet just took her too near

Yesterday she was found
Dead on the sidewalk
Her face in the newspaper front page
Stabbed during the carnival

Maybe you don't remember about Janet
You don't remember her anymore
But someday, someday
She's been very popular

Janet, the centipede
A hundred feet and a thousand ideas
She wanted to get too far
But her feet just took her too near
