Janet From Another Planet

Maybe you’ve seen Janet she’s from another planet making all her regular stops at the local charity shops loves a second hand rail or two lives in the land of good as new to knock and shock them in the aisles with frocks and socks of different styles for Bolton she’s a smidgen bold but not one to be pigeonholed Maybe you’ve seen Janet she’s from another planet not for her those workaday suits but rodeo clothes, matching boots and swirling curls of shades cerise ignoring the local taste police from Morris Green to the Market Hall she’s always sure to wow them all wishing on luck to get her through beyond the latest interview Maybe you’ve seen Janet she’s from another planet offered work at a pub in town never shirked, to hold it down pulling pints and measuring shots her Cheeky Vimto hit the spot not afraid of mopping the loo hosting quiz nights, meat raffles too gave the old place its heart and zing 'til it’s caged till started to sing Maybe you’ve seen Janet she’s from another planet today a tavern’s set adrift Jan didn’t turn up for her shift with no replies from flat or phone the landlord sighed and turned to stone as whiskey thoughts turned extra sour cops said give it twenty four hours but customers are asking round they're longing for her cheerful sound Maybe you’ve seen Janet She’s from another planet.

Apparently Janet got tired of getting hit on by drunken losers and decided to vamoose! Back to Venus I suppose
