Harper Valley P.T.A (Billboard No.1)
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,
And she said."Mom I got a note here from the
Harper Valley PTA."
Well the note said, "Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing
your dresses way too high.
It's reported you've been drinkin' and runnin' round
with men and goin' wild.
And we don't believe you oughta be a bringin' up
your little girl this 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 mini-skirt into the room.
And as she walked up to the black board, 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 sittin' there, and seven tims
he's asked me for a date.
And Mrs. Taylor 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 a 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.
And then you have the nerve to tell me, you think
