[Verse 1] - - - I want to [G7] tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife, who had a [C7] teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High.\r\nWell her [G7] daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play.  She said [C7] Mom I got a note here from the [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A. [G7]\r\n\r\nThe [G7] note said Misses Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high.   It's [C7] reported you've been drinking and a runnin' round with men and going wild.\r\nAnd we [G7] don't believe you ought to be a bringing up your little girl this way.   It was [C7] signed by the secretary, [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A.  [G7]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2] - - - Well, it [G7] happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon.  They were [C7] sure surprised when Misses Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room.\r\nAnd as she [G7] walked up to the blackboard I still recall the words she had to say.  She said, I'd [C7] like to address this meeting of the [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A. [G7]\r\n\r\nWell there's [G7] Bobby Taylor, sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date.   Misses [C7] Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away.\r\nAnd Mister [G7] Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town.  And shouldn't [C7] Widow Jones be told to keep her [D7] window shades all pulled  completely [G7] down?\r\n \r\n[Verse 3] - - - Well [G7] Mister Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed to long at Kelly's Bar again.  And if you [C7] smell Shirley Tompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin.\r\nThen you [G7] have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit.   Well this is [C7] just a little Peyton Place and [D7] you're all Harper Valley hypo-[G7]-crites.  \r\n \r\n[Outro] - - - No, I [G7] wouldn't put you on \r\nbecause it really did , it happened just this way.\r\nThe day my [C7] Mama socked it to \r\nthe [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A. [G7] \r\nThe day my [C7] Mama socked it to \r\nthe [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A. [G7] \r\n<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n
