Harper Valley PTA
C
I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife
F
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
C
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
F G C
She said, "Mom, I got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A."
C
The note said, "Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
F
It's reported you've been drinking and a-runnin' 'round with men and going wild
C
And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way"
F G C
It was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A.
C
Well, it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon
F
They were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her mini-skirt into the room
C
And as she walked up to the blackboard, I still recall the words she had to say
F G C
She said, "I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A."
D A
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a date
G
Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
D
And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
G A
And shouldn't Widow Jones be told to keep her window shades
D A
all pulled completely down?
D
Well, Mr. Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
G
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
D
Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
G A D
Well, this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites
D
No I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way
G A D
The day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
G A D
The day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
