Janis Joplin 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!! 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!
