I wanna tell ya all a story

'Bouf a Harper Volley
Widowed wife
Who had a ieenoge
Daughter

Who attended
Harper Valley Junior High
Well, her daughter came
Home one afternoon

And did n't even stop
To play
And she said, Mom

I got a note here

From the Harper Valley
P.T.A.
Well, the note said
Mrs. Johnson

You're wearin' your
Dresses way too high
Ifs reported
You been drinkin'

And runnin' 'round
With men and goin' wild
And we don't believe
You oughio be

Bringin' up your little girl
This way
And if was signed by

The secretary
Harper Valley P.T.A.
Well, it happened that
The P.T.A.

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 Volley
P.T.A.
Well, there's Bobby Taylor
Siiiin' 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 secretory had to
Leave this town
And should n'f
Widow Jones be told to
Keep her window shades

All pulled
Completely down
Well Mr. Harper
Could n'i 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 lime nip of gin
And then you have
The nerve to tell me

You think that as
A mother I'm not fit, hmm
Well this is iusf a little
Peyton place

And you're 0
Ha rper Valley hypocrites
No, I wouldn't put you on

Because it really did
It happened iusf this way
The day my mama

Socked it to
The Harper Valley P.T.A.
