Girl Most Likely Lyrics - Harper Valley P.t.a. (the Plantation Recordings 1968-70) - Jeannie C. Riley

Papa worked but his cheque was small 

Mama sewed just to help us all 

And our old house sure needed paint 

And when it rained, the roof would leak 

Well the teacher's pet was Susie Grout 

Born with the silver spoon in her mouth 

Miss goody two shoes in sovereignty 

And I was a 'Little Miss Nothin'' 

And they thought of me as 

The girl most likely 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

The girl most likely 

To wind up in uh, uh jam 

They judged by the way 

I looked not the way I am 

Well I guess it's true, I looked the part 

But developin' fast was not my fault 

Didn't know my sex appeal showed through 

Those made over clothes and run down shoes 

Now the doctor's son is hidin' out 

And the whole town knows what it's all about 

Because the evidence is plain 

Ha, it ain't me it's Susie Jane 

The girl most likely 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

The girl most likely 

Susie's daddy is on the run 

And he sure looks funny 

With that hot shot gun 

Well the weddin' bells can't wait till June 

It'd better be now or else real soon 

Susie Jane is in the jam 

Hey listen, that gun go wam wam wam 

Well some of that talk is dyin' now 

And there's a lot of most likely's in this town 

Just because a house needs a coat of paint 

That doesn't mean a girl is somethin' she ain't
