Harper Valley P.T.A.

I wanna tell you all a story bout the Harper Valley widow 
wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley's 
Junior High
Well her daughter come home one afternoon and didn't even 
stop to play
And she said mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley 
PTA
Well the note said Mrs Johnson you're wearin' your dresses 
way too high
And 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
Yeah it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA
Well it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very 
afternoon
And they were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson wore her 
miniskirt 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 PTA
Well now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times
 he 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
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
Well when you have the nerve to tell me 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
The day my mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
Yeah my mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
My mama really socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
