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 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 |
|
And 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 |
|
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 there's Jody 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 wodow 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 socked it to the Harper Valley PTA |
