Tom T. Hall Harper Valley P.T.A. Lyrics:
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, "Mrs. 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
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
Mrs. Johnson wore her mini-skirt 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 sittin' there and seven
times he's asked me for a date Mrs. Taylor sure
seems to use a lot of 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 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
happened just this way The day my Mama socked it
to the Harper Valley P.T.A. The day my Mama socked
it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
