Jeannie C. Riley - Harper valley pta

I wan^G7t to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife Who had a te^C7enage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High Well her da^G7ughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play She said ^C7Mom I got a note here from the H^D7arper Valley P.T.^G7A. The ^G7note said Misses Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high It's re^C7ported you've been drinking and a runnin' round with men and going wild And we d^G7on't believe you ought to be a bringing up your little girl this way It was si^C7gned by the secretary, H^D7arper Valley P.T.^G7A.

Well, it h^G7appened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon They were s^C7ure surprised when Misses Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room And as she w^G7alked up to the blackboard I still recall the words she had to say She said, I'd l^C7ike to address this meeting of the H^D7arper Valley P.T.^G7A. Well there's B^Ab7obby Taylor, sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date Misses Ta^Db7ylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away And Mister ^Ab7Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town And shouldn't W^Db7idow Jones be told to keep her w^Eb7indow shades all pulled completely d^Ab7own?

Well^A7 Mister Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed to long at Kelly's Bar again And if you s^D7mell Shirley Tompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin Then you ^A7have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit Well this is ^D7just a little Peyton Place and ^E7you're all Harper Valley ^A7hypocrites.

No, I^A7 wouldn't put you on because it really did , it happend just this way The day my ^D7Mama socked it to the ^E7Harper Valley P.^A7t.A. The day my ^Ab7Mama socked it to the H^Bb7arper Valley P.T.^Eb7A.
