Pleasant Valley Sunday Lyrics

[Interlude]
Ta ta-ta ta, ta ta-ta ta
Ta ta-ta ta, ta ta-ta ta (Ahh)
Ta ta-ta ta, ta ta-ta ta
Ta ta-ta ta, ta ta-ta ta (Ahh)

[Chorus 3]
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
Charcoal burnin’ everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land

[Outro]
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Ah, Pleasant Valley Sunday)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Ah, Pleasant Valley Sunday)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Ah, Pleasant Valley Sunday)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Ah, Pleasant Valley Sunday)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Ah, Pleasant Valley Sunday)
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Ah, Pleasant Valley Sunday)

A number three hit for the Monkees, dealing with the rising popularity of suburban life.

The song was written by regular Monkees collaborators Gerry Goffin and Carole King about their move from New York City to suburban West Orange, New Jersey, which they evidently did not care much for.
