Harper Valley P.T.A.

I wanna 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.

It’s reported you’ve been drinking

And we don’t believe you ought to be a bringing up

It was signed by the secretary Harper Valley P.T.A.

They were sure surprised when Misses Johnson

And as she walked up to the blackboard

She said I’d like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A.

Misses Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he’s away

And Mister Baker can you tell us why your

And shouldn’t widow Jones be told to keep

Her window shades all pulled completely down

And if you smell Shirley Thompson’s breath

Then you have the nerve to tell me you think

Well this is just a little Peyton Place

And you’re all Harper Valley hypocrites

The day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
