[A]
I want to tell you all a story about a Harper Valley widowed wife, who had [D] a teenage daughter
who attended Harper Valley Junior High.
Well, [A] her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play.
And she [D] said, Mama, got a note here from [E] the Harper Valley [A] PTA.
It said, Mrs.
Johnson, you're wearing your dress is way too high.
It's [D] reported you've been drinking and running around with men and going wild.
[D] And [A] we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way.
And it was [D] signed by the Secretary [E] Harper Valley PTA.
[A]
[F] Well, [Bb] it happened that PTA was going to meet that very afternoon.
And [Ab] they were [Eb] 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 Harper Valley [Bb]
PTA.
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date.
[Eb] And Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away.
[Bb] And Mr.
Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
[Fm] [Eb] And shouldn't Whittie Jones be told [F] to keep her window shade all [Bb] completely down?
[Gb] [B] Well, Mr.
Harper couldn't be here because he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again.
[E] And if you'll smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin.
And then you [B] have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit.
[B] Well, [E] this is just a little patent [Gb] placed and you're a Harper Valley [B] hypocrite.
No, I wouldn't put you on cause it really did.
It happened just this way.
