Harper Valley P.T.A.
I wanna tell you all the story 'Bout the Harper Valley widow 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, Mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A.
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 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 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Of the Harper Valley P.T.A. 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?
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 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 P.T.A. The day my mama socket it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
