Kelly Willis - Harper Valley PTA

[Verse 1: Kelly Willis]
I wanna tell you one story 'bout a Harper valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper valley junior high
Well her daughter came home one afternoon
She didn't even stop to play
And she said mom I got a note here from a Harper valley PTA

[Verse 2: Kelly Willis]
Well the note said;
Mrs. Johnson, you've been wearing your dresses way too high
And it's reported you've been drinking
And running round with men and going wild
And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way
And it was signed by the secretary, Harper valley PTA

[Verse 3: Kelly Willis]
Well it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon
And they must share surprise when Mrs. Johnson wore a mini skirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard
I could still recall the words she had to say
She said; I'd like to address this meeting of a Harper valley PTA

[Verse 4: Kelly Willis]
Well as Bobby Taylor's sitting there
And seven times he's asked me for a date
And Mrs Taylor sure seem to use a lot of eyes whenever he's away
And Mr Baker, won't you tell us why your secretary [?] leave this town
And shouldn't [?] Jones be told her window shades all pulled completely down

[Verse 5: Kelly Willis]
Well Mr. Harper couldn't be here
Cause he stayed too late at Kelly's bar again
And if you smelled Shelly Thompson's breathe
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And you've got the nerve to tell me
That you think that as a mother I'm not fair
Well this is just a little [?] and you're all Harper valley hypocrites

[Outro: Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison]
I wouldn't [?] you know it really didn't happen just this way
The day my momma [?] the Harper valley PTA
The day my momma [?] the Harper valley PTA
