        I want to tell you all the story `bout a Harper Valley widowed wife,
                              
F
 
        who had a teenage daughter, who attended Harper Valley Junior High.
                            
C
 
        Well, her daughter came home one afternoon and didn`t even stop to play,
                                        
F
                                          
G
                                                
C
 
        and she said, “Mom I, got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A.
                              
C
 
        Well, the note says, “Mrs. Johnson,
                                                                                        
C7
 
        you`re wearing your dresses way too high.
                                  
F
 
        It`s been reported you`ve been drinking
        and a-running round with men and going wild.
                          
C
 
        Now, we don`t believe you ought to be
        a-bringin` up your little girl   this way.“
                          
F
                                                
G
 
C
 
        And it was signed by the “Secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A.“
                              
C
                                                                                                                  
C7
 
        Well,   it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon,
                                          
F
 
        and, boy, were they surprised
        when Mrs Johnson wore her mini-skirt into the room.
                                
C
 
        And as she walked up to the blackboard,
        I can still recall the words she had to say.
                                      
F
                                                    
G
                                              
C
 
      She said, “I`d like to address this meetin` of the Harper Valley P.T.A."
                                    
C
 
        “Now there`s Bobby Taylor sittin` there,
                                                                                          
C7
 
        and seven times he`s asked me for a date,
                        
F
 
      and Mrs Taylor she seems to use a lot of ice whenever he`s away.
                          
C
 
        And Mr. Baker, can you tell us, why your secretary had to leave this town?
                                      
F
 
        And shouldn`t widow Jones be told
                                  
G
                                                                  
C
 
        to keep her window shades all pulled completey down."
                            
C
 
        “Now Mr. Harper couldn`t be here,
                                                                                                    
C7
 
        cause he stayed too long at Kelly`s Bar again,
                                  
F
 
        and if you smell Shirley Thompson`s breath
        you`ll find, she`s had a little nip of gin.
                                
C
 
        And then you have the nerve to tell me,as a mother,you think that I'm not fit.
                                        
F
 
        Well, this is just a little Peyton Place,
                    
G
                                                      
C
 
        and you`re all Harper Valley hypocrites."
                          
C
 
        Now I   wouldn`t put you on,
                                                                                                            
C7
 
        because it really did, it thappened just this way,
                                  
F
                                          
G
                              
C
 
        that day my momma socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.,
                                  
F
                                          
G
                              
C
 
        that day my momma socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
