Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your local rock group down the street is tryin' hard to learn their song

Serenade the weekend squire just came out to mow his lawn

[Chorus]

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday)

Charcoal burnin' everywhere

Rows of houses that are all the same

And no one seems to care

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday)

Here in status symbol land

Mothers complain about how hard life is

And the kids just don't understand

[Bridge]

Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul

And make it hard for me to see

My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away

I need a change of scenery

[Bridge]

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta (Ah)

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta, ta-ta (Ah)

[Chorus]

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday)

Charcoal burnin' everywhere

Another pleasant valley Sunday

Here in status symbol land

[Chorus]

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Ah, pleasant valley Sunday)

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Ah, pleasant valley Sunday)

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Ah, pleasant valley Sunday)

Another pleasant valley Sunday (Ah, pleasant valley Sunday)
