I want to 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

She said Mom I got a note here from the Harper
Valley P.T.A.

The note said Misses Johnson, you're wearing your
dresses way too high

It's reported you've been drinking and a runnin'
round with men and going wild

And we don't believe you ought to be a bringing
up your little girl this way

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

They were sure surprised when Misses Johnson wore
her miniskirt into the

room

And as she walked up to the blackboard 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.

Well there's Bobby Taylor, sitting there and
seven times he's asked me for a

date

Misses Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice
whenever he's away

And Mister 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 Mister Harper couldn't be here 'cause he
stayed to long at Kelly's Bar

again

And if you smell Shirley Tompson's breath you'll
find she's had a little nip of

gin

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 happend just this way

The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley
P.T.A.
