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
