Harper Valley P.T.A. (Single Version)

Wan'na tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife

Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Jr High

Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play

And she saidŁ˘Mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley P T A Ł˘

Well the note said Ł˘Mrs Johnson you're wearing your dresses way too high

And it's reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men & going wild

And we don't believe you oughta be a bringin' up your little girl this way Ł˘

And it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley P T A

Well it happened that the P T A was gon'na meet that very afternoon

And they were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room

Then as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say

She said Ł˘I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P T A Ł˘

Ł˘Well there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he's 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

Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit

Well this is just another 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 momma' socked it to the Harper Valley P T A

The day my momma' socked it to the Harper Valley P T A
