Harper Valley P.T.A. (Mono / Remastered 2022)

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 wearin' your dresses way too high
It's reported you been drinkin' and a-
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 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's 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 widow 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'll smell Shirley Thompson's breath
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And then you have nerve to tell me you
Think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well, this is just a little Peyton 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 socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA."
