by Gerry Goffin & Carole King
The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song,
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere,
Rows of houses that are all the same,
And no one seems to care
See Mrs Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom,
And Mr Green, he's so serene,
He's got a TV in every room
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land,
Mothers complain about how hard life is,
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul,
And make it hard for me to see
Ahhhthoughts all seem to stray to places far away,
I need a change of scenery
Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta (etc)
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
(fade out)
