(The day that widda Johnson socked it to,)
(The Harper Valley P.T.A.)
Sound of gavel pounding.
Spoken: (Order, order!)
I'll have a cheeseburger and a bottle o' beer!
Seriously, boy, I would like to address this meeting
Of the Harper Valley AA, ah-PTA.
Hi there, Bobby Taylor, you son of a gun!
I was just strollin' along the street tonight,
On my way to Kelly's bar.
And I saw your sign outside that said PTA.
I thought that meant, Party Time Already.
So, here I am an' I'm havin' a lot of fun,
You bunch of son of a guns.
Mr. Baker, Widow Brown, Shirley baby!
Mr. Peyton and distinguished guests,
You bunch of son of a guns!
Hey, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Johnson.
You say old Bobby Taylor sittin' there
And seven times he asked you for a date?
Ben chuckles. Well, shuckins!
Hang right in there Bobby,
She'll probably come around if you'll just wait.
And I can tell you why,

She was expectin' to get a lot better job,
With Brown and Brown in another town.
Mrs. Johnson, do you happen to be a grass widow?{1}
That makes you a Johnson grass widow!
Mrs. Johnson has posed the question,
Should widow Brown be told,
To pull her window shades completely down?
To pull or not to pull, that is the question.
Well, I'll leave it to a vote.
Now, how do you vote? (No!)
You bunch of son of a guns.
I think you made a wise choice,
It beats watching TV.
Now that brings us up to
Shirley Thompson's breath.
Perhaps I shouldn't a-brought that up,
Tell the green phantom.{2}
Hey, y'all are really a bunch of swingers,
And I've sure have had myself a lot of fun.
Singing:
Yeah, this is just a little Peyton Place,{3}
And you're all Harper Valley son of a guns.
This is just a little Peyton Place,
And you're all Harper Valley son of a guns.
Son of a gun.
Fade.
Bobby Taylor is a sun of a gun.

Ben Colder biography

Due to various acting commitments, Wooley had been unable to record the song "Don't Go Near the Indians,"{2} which was instead cut by Rex Allen for a significant hit in 1962. Wooley recorded a drunken-sounding parody called "Don't Go Near the Eskimos"{3} and released it under the pseudonym Ben Colder (other choices for his alias reportedly included Ben Freezin and Klon Dyke). "Eskimos" was a Top 20 hit on the country charts, and Wooley decided to keep returning to his new comic persona on a regular basis.
Ben Colder had a few more chart singles throughout the '60s, including the parodies of, David Houston's "Almost Persuaded,"{4} as "Almost Persuaded No. 2,"{5} which went all the way to #6 in 1966, giving Colder the second-bigg.....MORE.....(full Ben Colder biography) ←
