Port Arthur High School Reunion Lyrics

Janis Joplin

Translate to

What do you think about your town since you′ve left and come back?
It's fantastic, I was across the river at the Falcon
Club last night, never had more fun in my life
Do you think there′s hope for the future?
Except sometimes in California, I have more fun
Well, do you plan to come back soon?
Oh, uh, uh, uh, I, I have no immediate plans, hahahaha

Did you entertain in high school, at the high school
When you were back here in New York in high school?
Only when I walked down the aisle, see, I mean, no
I, no, I did, no, hahahaha, no, I was, uh, I was
A painter and a, sort of a recluse in high school

I've changed
What happened?

I got liberated
I don't know, I started to sing and, uh, singing makes you
Wanna come out, whereas painting, I, I feel really keeps you
Inside, you know, and once I started singing, it just sort of
You know, made you wanna talk to people more and, and go out
More and, you know, your lifestyle just becomes more a come
Out, flow out thing instead of a hold in and be quiet thing

How were you different from your schoolmates when you were in TJ?
I don′t know, why don′t you ask them?
It was they who made you different?
No, I'm...
In other words, you were different in comparison to them or were you?

I felt apart from them
Did you go to ba- football games?
I think not, I didn′t go to the high school prom and, um
Oh, you were asked, weren't you?
No, I wasn′t, they didn't think, they
I don′t think they wanted to take me

And I've been, I've been suffering ever since
It′s enough to make you wanna sing the blues
