The Monkees (Film) Scene III

(Mike's bedroom with Mike and Mary)
Mary: I know you never promised me a rose garden but I'd settle for a front lawn.
Mike: You know I've been trying to run away from suburban life.
Mary: Are you saying you regret settling down?
Mike: No I like being a husband but that's different than a suburbanite. A suburbanite has no loyalties or dreams beyond his own sheltered community and school district (Song Pleasant Valley Sunday)
The local rock group down the street Is trying hard to learn their song
Serenade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green he's so serene, He's got a t.v. in every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Ta Ta Ta...
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday...
