Harper Valley P.T.A.
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,
She said, Mom, I got a note here,
from the Harper Valley P.T.A.
The note said, "Mrs. Johnson,
you're wearing your dresses way too high,
It's been reported you've been drinking
and running around with men and going wild.
We don't believe you oughta be
bringing up your little girl this way."
And it was signed by,
"The secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A."
[Instrumental]
Well it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet
that very afternoon,
And they were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson
wore her mini-skirt into the room.
She walked up to the black-board
and I still recall the words she had to say,
She said, "I'd like to address this meeting
of the Harper Valley P.T.A."
"Now there's Bobby Taylor sitting there
and seven times he's asked me for a date,
Mrs. Taylor sure seems
to use a lot of ice when 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 window shades all pulled completely down?
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.
Then you have the nerve to tell me
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 Momma socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
