  The  local rock group down the street
  G/A
  Is trying hard to learn their song
  They  serenade the weekend squire
  G/A
  Who just came out to mow his lawn
  Another Pleasant  Valley Sunday  (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 (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
  My thoughts all seem to stray
  To places far away
  I need a change of scenery
  Another Pleasant  Valley Sunday  (Sunday)
  Charcoal  burning  everywhere
  Another  Pleasant  Valley Sunday
  Here  in status  symbol land
 Coda :

  Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (another Pleasant Valley Sunday)
