Harper Valley P.t.a. Lyrics - Singles - Billie Jo Spears

I want to tell you all the story 'bout 

The 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 stop to play 

She said, "Mama, I got a note here 

From the Harper Valley P.T.A." 

 

The note said, "Mrs. Johnson you're a wearing 

Your dresses way too high, it's reported you've been 

Drinking and a running 'round with men and goin' wild 

We don't believe you ought to be a bringing up your little girl this way 

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

 

Well, it happened that the P.T.A. 

Was gonna meet that very afternoon 

They were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson 

Wore her miniskirt into the room 

 

She walked up to the blackboard 

And I recall the things she had to say 

She said, "I'd like to address 

This meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A." 

 

Now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there 

And seven times he 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 make it 

'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 

 

When you have the nerve to tell me 

That you think that as a mother I'm not fit 

Well, this is just a little Payton 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 mama socket it to the Harper Valley P.T.A. 

The day my mama socket it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
