I wanna tell you all the story bout

the Harper Valley widow wife

Who had a teenage son and daughter

who attended Harper Valley Junior High

Well her daughter came home

one afternoon and didn't even stop to play

And she said mom I got a note

here from the Harper Valley PTA

Well the note said Mrs Johnson

you're wearin' your dresses way too high

And it's reported you've been drinkin'

and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild

Now we don't believe you oughta be

a bringin' up your children this a way

And it was signed by

the secretary Harper Valley PTA

Well it happened that the PTA

was gonna meet that very afternoon

And they were sure surprised

when Mrs Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room

As she walked up to the blackboard

I can 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 sittin' there

and seven times he asked me for a date

And Mrs Taylor sure seems to use

a lot of ice whenever he's away

And Mr Baker can you tell us

why your secretary had to leave this town

And shouldn't wodow Jones be told to keep

Her window shades all pulled completely down

Well 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

When you have the nerve to

tell me 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 really socket it to

the Harper Valley PTA

The day my mama really socket it to

the Harper Valley PTA
