I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow wife
  Who had a teenage daughter that attended Harper Valley Junior High
  Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
  And she said, "Mama, I've got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA"
  Well the note says "Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
  It's been reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
  Now we don't believe you ought to be a bringin' up your little girl this way"
  And it was signed by the Secretary, Harper Valley PTA
  
  Well it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon
  And boy, were they surprised as Mrs. Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
  And as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the word she had to say
  She said "I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA
  
  Now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a date
  And 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
  
  Now Mr. Harper couldn't be here 'cause he's stayed too long in Kelly's bar again
  And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
  And then you have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think that I ain't fit
  Well this is just a little Payton place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrits
  
  Now I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way
  That day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
  That day my Mama socked it to 'em at the Harper Valley PTA
