 Lyrics for Album: Here's Lynn Anderson [Capitol] [1972]
 
 
 
 39770>(Tom T. Hall)
 
 
 
 I wanna tell you all the story 'bout 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
 
 And she said mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA.
 
 
 
 Well, the note said Mrs Johnson you're wearin' your dresses way too high
 
 And it's reported you've been drinkin'
 
 And a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
 
 And we don't believe you oughta 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."
 
 
 
 "Now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there
 
 And seven times he asked me for a date
 
 And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice whenever he's away
 
 And Mr. Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
 
 And shouldn't wodow Jones be told to keep
 
 Her window shades all pulled completely down."
 
 
 
 "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
 
 You think that as a mother I'm not fit
 
 Well, this is just a little Payton Place
 
 And you're all Harper Valley hypocrites."
 
 
 
 No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did it happened just this way
 
 The day my mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA.
 
 
 
 The day my mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA...
