Harper Valley P.t.a.

I wanna tell you all a story 'bout 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 for the Harper Valley P.T.A.


Well, the note said, Mrs. Johnson, you're wearin' your dresses way too high.

It's reported you've been drinkin' and a-runnin' 'round with men, and goin'

wild.

And we don't believe you oughta be a-bringin' 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 were 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 sittin' there, and seven times he's asked me for a

date.

And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lotta 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 Kelley's Bar

again.

And if you'll 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 P.T.A.!
