Yearbooks And Yesterdays Lyrics - Harper Valley P.t.a. (the Plantation Recordings 1968-70) - Jeannie C. Riley

The weather was bad it was windy and rainin' outside 

So I decided to stay in clean my room and give a lift to my pride 

I was cleanin' out the corner of my closet and overturned a boxlid 

And there were my yearbooks and pictures and my yesterday friends 

On the very first page Jeannie Adams set smilin' at me 

She was the queen of the senior class but she failed in history 

Hi Jeannie 'member when we played hockey with those out of town boys 

And how scared we got they didn't wanna bring us back and called us killjoys 

On the next page there was Johnny Roosevelt most handsome boy at school 

Hi Johnny guess you never knew what a crush I had on you 

But it only lasted untill Michael Grady moved to Central High 

He was a big bashful football bawl and I loved him at first sight 

Well there you are Mike I was wonderin' when you'd be showin' up 

Gosh you've got a bruise on your eye 

Oh I remember those Pacus boys were mighty rough 

And remember how us girls all cried when we lost the game that night 

It was so cold why you couldn't even squeeze me you were bandaged up so tight 

Hello Paddy June and Billy Roy heard you've married and settled down 

Betty Rogers still writes now and then since I moved out of town 

You remember my daddy got a transfer when school came to an end 

And for awhile I lost tracks of my yearbooks and yesterdays friends 

But today as I visit back with you hi Joni and Clyde 

I know I never really could forget you even if I tried 

For in my heart all our years together never came to an end 

And you know there's really no such thing as a yesterday friend 

There's really no such a thing as a yesterday friend
