Lyrics

Downtown Pomona antique mall
A box of pictures in a dark stall
One of an infant with a beauty prize
One of a starlet with the same eyes
Stills from a movie I never saw
And on the back was written Janet Shaw
There was a photo of soldiers on furlough in Germany
One of them circled his head and he's written, "Remember me"
Remember me
I bought three pictures, though I wanted them all
Two are in my piano bench and one is on my wall
I did some research into roles she had played
Bette Davis's niece in The Old Maid
And a ? waitress in Shadow of a Doubt
If the part had been bigger, it got cut out
If she'd been famous, they would've been auctioned at Sotheby's
But she wasn't famous, though I wouldn't call her a nobody
No award nominations, no box office draw
Now everyone's forgotten Janet Shaw
No award nominations, no box office draw
Just a contract engenue named Janet Shaw
Ah, ah...
