I wanna tell you all a story about a harper valley widowed wife
who had a teenage daughter that attended harper valley junior high
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
and it's been rumored you've been drinking and running around with men and going wild
and we really don't think you should be bringing up your little girl this way
and it was signed the secretary of the harper valley pta

well it happened that pta was gonna meet that very afternoon
and they were all suprised when mrs. johnson wore her mini skirt into the room
and when she walked up to the blackboard, 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 sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date
and mrs. taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice when he's away
and mr. baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
and can winter jones be told to leave her window shades all perfectly layed down
well mr. harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed too late at Kelly's Bar again
and if you smell shirly thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
and still you see the need to tell me that as a mother i'm not fit
well this is just a little hating place for all you harper valley hipocrites

no i wouldn't put you on because it didn't really happen just that way
the day my momma socked it to the harper valley pta
