Harper Valley P.T.A.
[Verse]
I want to tell you all the story
About the Harper Valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter
Who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well her daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
She said mama I got a note here
From the Harper Valley PTA
The note said Mrs Johnson
You're a wearing your dresses way too high
It's reported you've been drinking
And a running round with men and going wild
We don't believe you ought to be a bringing up
Your little girl this way
It was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA
Well it happened that the PTA
Was going to meet that very afternoon
They were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson
Wore her miniskirt into the room
She walked up to the blackboard
And I recall the things she had to say
She said I'd like to address this
Meeting of the Harper Valley PTA
Now there's Bobby Taylor sitting there
And seven times he asked me for a date
And Mrs Taylor sure seems to use
A lot of ice whenever he's away
And Mr Baker can you tell us why
Your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't wodow Jones be told to keep
Her window shades all pulled completely down
Well Mr Harper couldn't make it
Because he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin
When you have the nerve to tell me
That you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well this is just a little Payton Place
And you're all Harper Valley hypocrites
No I wouldn't put you on because
It really did it happened just this way
[Outro]
The day my mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA[x2]
