Harper Valley PTA Intro: A
I want to Atell you all a story 'bout a
Harper Valley widowed wife
Who had a tDeenage daughter who attended
Harper Valley Junior High
Well her dAaughter came home one afternoon
and didn't even stop to play
She said, "DMomma got a note here from the
EHarper Valley P.T.AA."
The Anote said, "Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing
your dresses way too high
It's reDported you've been drinking and a-runnin'
'round with men and going wild
And we Adon't believe you ought to be bringing up
your little girl this way"
It was Dsigned by the secretary,
EHarper Valley P.T.AA. F
Well, it Bbhappened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet
that very afternoon
They were sEbure surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her
mini-skirt into the room
And as she Bbwalked up to the blackboard,
I still recall the words she had to say
She said, "EbI'd like to address this meeting
of the FHarper Valley P.T.BbA."
Well, there's BbBobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times
he's asked me for a date
Mrs. EbTaylor sure seems to use a lot of eyes
whenever he's away
And Mr. BbBaker, can you tell us why your secretary
had to leave this town?
And shouldn't EbWidow Jones be told to keep her
Fwindow shades all pulled completely Bbdown? F#
Well, Mr. BHarper couldn't be here 'cause
he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you sEmell Shirley Thompson's breath,
you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
Then you Bhave the nerve to tell me
you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well, this is Ejust a little Peyton Place and
F#you're all Harper Valley hypoBcrites
No I Bwouldn't put you on because it really did,
it happened just this way
The day my EMama socked it to the F#Harper Valley P.T.BA.
