Dolly Parton - Harper Valley Pta Lyrics
I want to tell you all a story bout a harper valley widow wifeWho had a teenage daughter that attended harper valley junior highWell her daughter came home one afternoon and didnt even stop to playAnd she said, mama, Ive got a note here from the harper valley ptaWell the note says mrs. johnson, youre wearing your dresses way too highIts been reported youve been drinkin and a runnin round with men and goin wildNow we dont believe you ought to be a bringin up your little girl this wayAnd it was signed by the secretary, harper valley ptaWell it happened that the pta was gonna meet that very afternoonAnd boy, were they surprised as mrs. johnson wore her miniskirt into the roomAnd as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the word she had to sayShe said Id like to address this meeting of the harper valley ptaNow theres bobby taylor sittin there and seven times hes asked me for a dateAnd mrs. taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever hes awayAnd mr. baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this townAnd shouldnt widow jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely downNow mr. harper couldnt be here cause hes stayed too long in kellys bar againAnd if you smell shirley thompsons breath youll find shes had a little nip of ginAnd then you have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think that I aint fitWell this is just a little payton place and youre all harper valley hypocritsNow I wouldnt put you on because it really did, it happened just this wayThat day my mama socked it to the harper valley ptaThat day my mama socked it to em at the harper valley pta
