[E] I [A] 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
[D] [A] Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
And [D] she 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
[Am] [A] And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way
And [D] it was signed by the [E] Secretary Hopper Valley [A] PTA
[F] Well [Bb] it happened that PTA was going to meet that very afternoon
And [Eb] they 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 Miss Bobby Taylor's sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a day
And [Eb] Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
[Bbm] [Eb] And [Bb] Mr.
Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And [Eb] shouldn't Porter Jones be told to [F] keep her when the shades are all [Bb] completely down
[Gb] Well [B] Mr.
Hopper couldn't be here cause he'd stay too long at Kelly's door again
[E] And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
[B] And then you have the nerve to tell me if you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well [E] this is just a little patent [Gb] place and you're a Hopper Valley [B] hypocrite
No I wouldn't put you on cause it really did it happen just this way
That [E] day my mama stalked you to [Gb] the Hopper Valley [B] PTA
That [E] day my mama stalked you to [Gb] everybody's local [B] PTA
who [D] had a teenage daughter who attended Hopper Valley Junior High
