I want to
Tell you all
A story
About a
Harper Valley
Widowed 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
And she said
"Mama got a
Note here from the
Harper Valley
P T A "
Well the note said
"Mrs. Johnson
You're wearing
Your dresses
Way too high
It's reported
You've been
Drinking
And a-running
Round with men
And going wild
And we don't
Believe you
Oughta be
A-bringing up
Your little girl
This way"
And it was
Signed by the
Secretary
Harper Valley
P T A
Well it
Happened that
The P T A
Was gonna meet
That very
Afternoon
And they was sure
Surprised
When Mrs. johnson
Wore her
Mini-skirt into
The room
And as she
Walked up to
The blackboard
I can still recall
The words
She had to say
She said
"I'd like to
Address this
Meeting
Of the
Harper Valley
P T A
Well there's
Bobby Taylor
Sitting there
And seven times
He's 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
Widow jones
Be told
To keep her
Window shades
All pulled
Completely down
Well Mr. Harper
Couldn't be here
Cause 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
And then you
Have the nerve
To tell me
You think that as a
Mother
I'm not fit
Well this is just
A little
Peyton Place
And you're all
Harper Valley
Hypocrites"
No I wouldn't
Put you on
Because it
Really did
It happened
just this way
The day my
Mama socked it
To the
Harper Valley
P T A
The day my
Mama socked it
To the
Harper Valley
