Dammit Janet
Susan Sarandon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, Janet
Yes, Brad?

I've got something to say
Uh huh
I really loved the skilful way
You beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet

Oh, Brad

The river was deep but I swam it (Janet)
The future is ours so let's plan it (Janet)
So please don't tell me to can it (Janet)
I've one thing to say and that's
Dammit, Janet, I love you

The road was long but I ran it (Janet)
There's a fire in my heart and you fan it (Janet)
If there's one fool for you then I am it (Janet)
I've one thing to say and that's
Dammit, Janet, I love you

Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker
There's three ways that love can grow
That's good, bad or mediocre
Oh J-A-N-E-T I love you so

Oh, it's nicer than Betty Munroe had (oh Brad)
Now we're engaged and I'm so glad (oh Brad)
That you've met mum and you know dad (oh Brad)
I've one thing to say and that's
Brad I'm mad for you too

Oh, Brad

Oh, dammit

I'm mad

Oh, Janet

For you

I love you too
There's one thing left to do, and that's

Go see the man who began it (Janet)
When we met in his science exam-it (Janet)
Made me give you the eye and then panic (Janet)
Now I've one thing to say and that's
Dammit, Janet, I love you

Dammit, Janet

Oh Brad, I'm mad

Dammit Janet

I love you

Overall Meaning

The song "Dammit Janet" is a playful duet between Brad and Janet, the two main characters in the cult classic film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". The lyrics indicate that Brad has fallen in love with Janet and wants to plan their future together. He compliments her for being a skilled catcher of the bride's bouquet, and he tells her that he's willing to do whatever it takes to be with her. Janet reciprocates his feelings, and the two end up singing about their love in unison.


The song is upbeat and cheerful, which is unusual for a love song in a horror musical. It shows the carefree spirit of the characters and their willingness to embrace love, despite the strange circumstances they find themselves in. The lyrics are also humorous and use simple, catchy rhymes that are easy to sing along to. The song serves as a foreshadowing of the surreal events that will unfold in the film later on, as it introduces the audience to the quirky personality of Brad and Janet.

Hey Janet (Yes Brad?), I've got something to say.
I really loved the skillful way
You beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet!
