Letra de Harper Valley PTA

I want to 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,
"Mama, 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 a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
And we don't believe you oughta to 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 miniskirt 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's stayed too long in 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 as a mother that I'm not fit
Well this is just a little Payton place
and you're all Harper Valley hypocrits

Now I wouldn't put you on
because it really did,
it happened just this way
That day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
That day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
