[Am] [A]
I want to tell you all a story
About a Hopper Valley widow's wife
Who [D] had a teenage daughter
Who attended Hopper Valley Junior High
[A] Well, her daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
And she [D] said, Mom, I got a note here
[E] From the Hopper Valley [A] PTA
Well, the note said, Mrs.
Johnson
You're wearing your dress is way too high
[D] It's reported you've been drinking
And running around with men and going wild
And [A] we don't believe you ought to be
Bringing up your little girl this way
And [D] it was signed by the Secretary
[E] Hopper Valley [A] PTA
[F]
[Bb] Well, it happened that PTA
Was going to meet that very afternoon
And they [Eb] were sure surprised
When Mrs.
Johnson wore her mini skirt
Into the room
And [Bb] as she walked up to the blackboard
I can still recall the words she had to say
She [Eb] said, I'd like to address this [F] meeting
Of the Hopper Valley [Bb] PTA
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sitting there
And seven times he's asked me [Bbm] for a date
[Bb]
And [Eb] Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice
Whenever he's away
And [Bb] Mr.
Baker, can you tell us why
Your secretary had to leave this town
[Bb] And [Eb] shouldn't Whittie Jones be told to keep [F] her
When the shade's all pulled completely [Bb] down
[Gb]
Well, [B] Mr.
Hopper couldn't be here
Because he stayed too long at Kelly's bar again
And if [E] you smell Shirley Thompson's breath
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And then [B] you have the nerves tell me
You think that as the mother I'm not fit
Well, this [E] is just a little patent place
[Gb] And you're all Hopper Valley [B] hypocrites
No, I wouldn't put you on
Because it really did, it happened just this way
That [E] day my mama socked it to [Gb] the Hopper Valley [B] PTA
That [E] day my mama socked it to [Gb] the Hopper Valley [B] PTA
