Songtexte Harper Valley PTA - Squeeze

I wanna tell you all a 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
She said, "Mum, I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA"

Well, the note said, "Mrs Johnson
You're wearing your dresses way too high
It's reported you've been drinking and
Running 'round with men and going wild
But we don't believe you ought to be
Bringing up your little girl this way"
It was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley PTA

Well, it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon
They were sure surprised when Mrs
Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
As she walked up to the blackboard
I can still recall the words she had to say
She said, "I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA"

Well, there's Bobby Taylor sitting there
And seven times he's asked me for a date
Mrs Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he is away
Mr Baker, can you tell us why his secretary had to leave this town?
Should a widow be told to keep her
Window shades or pull her baby down?
Well, Mr Harper couldn't be here 'cause
He stayed too long at Curly's Park Inn
If you smell Shirley Thompson's breath
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin

Then you have the nerve to tell me that as a mother, I'm not fit
Well, this is just a little paper place
And you're all Harper Valley hypocrites
Well, I wouldn't put you on because it really did happen just this way
The day my mama sacked it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day my mama sacked it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day my mama sacked it to the Harper Valley PTA
