I want to tell you all a story
About a Harper Valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter
Who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well, her daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even start to play
And she said, Mom, I got a note
You're from the Harper Valley PTA
Well, the note said, Mrs. Johnson
You're wearing your dress is way too high
And it's reported you've been drinking
And running around one minute and going wild
And it's reported you've been drinking
And we don't believe you ought to be
Bringing up your little girl this way
And it was signed by the secretary
Harper Valley PTA
Well, it happened that the PTA
Was going to meet the very afternoon
And they were sure surprised
When Mrs. Johnson wore a 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 PTA
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sitting there
And seven times he's asked me for it
On a date
And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice
Whenever he's away
And Mr. Baker, won't you tell us
Why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't Widow Jones be told to keep her window shades
On pool completely down
Well, Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice
And 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
And then you'll have the nerve to tell me
That you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well, this is just a little paid-in place
And you're a Harper Valley PTA
Hypocrites
No, I wouldn't put you on
Because it really did
It happen just this way
The day my mama sucked it to
The Harper Valley PTA
The day my mama sucked it to
The Harper Valley PTA
The Harper Valley PTA
