Hi,

talking about the 60's oldie by Jeannie C. Riley? Here the lyrics go:

HARPER VALLEY P.T.A.

I want to tell you all a story
'bout a Harper Valley widow'd wife
Who had a teenage daughter
who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well her daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
She said Mom, I got a note here
From the Harper Valley P. T. A.

The note said Mrs. Johnson
You are wearing your dresses way too high
It's reported you' ve been drinking
And a runnin' round with men and going wild
We don't believe you ought
To be a bringing up your little girl this way
It was signed by the secretary
Harper Valley P. T. A.

Well it happened that the P. T. A.
was gonna meet that very afternoon
They were sure surprised when
Mrs. Johnson wore her mini-skirt into the room
She walked up to the blackboard
And I still recall the words she had to say
she said I'd like to address this meeting of the
Harper Valley P. T. A.

Now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there
And seven times he's asked me for a date
Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice
Whenever he's away
And Mr. Baker can you tell us
why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't widow Jones be told
To keep her window shades all pulled
completely down.
Mr. Harper couldn't be here
Cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath,
You'll find she's has a little nip of Gin
Then you have the nerve to tell me
That you think that as a mother I'm not fit
This is just a little Peyton Place
And you're all
Harper Valley Hypocrites .

No I wouldn't put you on
Because it really did,
It happened just this way
The day my Mama socked it to
The Harper Valley P. T. A.

Enjoy the song

I've been meaning to learn this song too:

I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow'd wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High

Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
She said Mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA

The note said Missus Johnson, you are wearing your dress way too high
It's reported you've been drinking and a-runnin' 'round with men and
going wild
And we don't believe you ought to be a-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 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 sittin' there and seven times he's asked me
for a date
Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this
town,
And shouldn't widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled
completely down?

Well, Mr. Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed too long at Kelly's
Bar again,
And 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 you think that as a mother I'm not
fit
Well this is just a little Peyton Place, and you're all Harper Valley
hypocrites.
