Port Arthur High School Reunion Lyrics

Artist: Janis Joplin
Album: From the Soundtrack of the Motion Picture Janis

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!!

Did you entertain in high school, at the high school, when you went back at the high school ?

Only when I walked down the aisles, man. No, I did, no, I was, er, 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 just started to sing and singing makes you want to come out because painting, I feel, keeps you inside, you know ? And once you start singing you just sort of want too talk to people more and go out more and, you know, your lifestyle's becomes more a come-out, flow-out thing instead of a hold-it-and-be-quiet type.

How were you different from your schoolmates when you were a teenager ?

I don't know, why don't you ask them ?

Did they make you different ?

No.

Otherwise were you different in comparison with them, or were you ?

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!
