The Weather Was Bad
And My Yesterday Friends
On the very first page, Janie Adams
Sat smiling at me
She was the queen of the senior class
But she failed in history
Hi, Janie
Remember when we played hooky
With those out-of-town boys
And how scared we got
They didn't want to bring us back
And called us killjoys
On the next page, there was Janie Roosevelt
Most handsome boy in school
Hi, Janie
Guess you never knew
What a crush I had on you
But it only lasted until
Michael Brady moved
To Central High
He was the big bashful football boy
And I loved him at first sight
Well, there you are, Mike
I was wondering
When you'd be showing up
Gosh, you got a bruise on your eye
Oh, I remember those pay
Cause boys were mighty rough
And remember how us girls
All loved you
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, Patty June and Billy Roy
Heard you'd married and settled down
Betty Rogers still writes now and then
Since I moved out of town
You remember when we played hooky
I remember my daddy got a transfer
When school came to an end
And for a while I lost track of my yearbooks
And yesterday 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
