Port Arthur High School Reunion Lyrics

    What do you think about your town since you've left and come back ?

    It's fantastic! i was across the river from the club last night, i never had more fun in my life! except sometimes in california i have more fun.

    Do you plan to come back soon ?

    Oh ? er, er, er, i have no immediate plans, ha ha ha!!

    I felt apart from them.

    Did you take a part in football games ?

    I think not. i didn't go to the high school prom, and er ...

    Oh, you were asked, weren't you ?

    No, i wasn't. i don't think, i don't think they wanted to take me. till i'll be a hundred and sufferin'! it's enough to make you wanna sing the blues!
