[Verse 1]
I wanna tell you all the story about the Harper Valley widow 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
She said mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA

[Verse 2]
Well the note said Mrs Johnson you're wearing your dresses way too high
And it's reported you've been drinking and a running round with men and going wild
And we don't believe you oughta be a bringing up your little girl this way
And it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Well there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he 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

[Verse 5]
Well Mr Harper couldn't 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 little nip of gin
And when you have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think I'm not fit
Well this is just a little Payton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites

[Outro]
No I wouldn't put you on because it really did it happened just this way
The day her mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day her mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day her mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
