I want to tell you all a story that a Hopper Valley widow by
Who had [F] a teenage daughter that attended Hopper Valley Junior High
Well [C] her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
And she [F] said, Mom I got a note here [G] from the Hopper Valley [C] PTA
Well the note says Mrs.
Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
It's been [F] reported you've been drinking and running around with men and going wild
Now [C] we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way
And [F] it was signed by the [G] Secretary Hopper Valley [C] PTA
[G#]
[C#] Well it happened that the PTA was going to meet that very afternoon
[F#] And boy were they surprised when Mrs.
Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room
And [C#] as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say
She [F#] said, I'd like to address this meeting [G#] of the Hopper Valley [C#] PTA
Now there's Bobby Taylor sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date
And [F#] Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
And [C#] Mr.
Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
[F#] And shouldn't Widow Jones be told to [G#] keep her window shades all pulled [C#] completely down
[A]
Now [D] Mr.
Hopper couldn't be here cause he stayed too long at Kelly's for a gin
And [G] if you'll smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And [D] then you have to tell me as a mother you think that I ain't fit
Well [G] this is just a little patent [A] place and you're all Hopper Valley [D] hypocrites
Now I wouldn't quit cause it really did, it happened just this way
That [G] day my mama slapped it to [A] the Hopper Valley [D] PTA
