Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l, [C]I w[D]ant[G] to[D][G][D]
tell you a story
about a hopper valet with a [C]wife[D]
[C]She had a [G]teenage son who attended
Hopper
Valley
Senior
High
Yes he did.
One [D]day he came [G]home an[D]d
he didn't even [C]stop to [D]play.
[C]No [D]he didn't y 'all.
[C]He said,
[G]Mom, I got a note from the
[F]Harper
Valley
[D]PTA.
Look here.
He said,
Mrs.
[G]Johnson, [D]you're wearing
your dresses too high.
[G]That's [D]what the note said
[C]You've bee[G]n runnin' round with me
And goin' wild
That's what it said
And [D]we don't believe you [C]ought
To [D]be bringin' your son
[C]Up [D]this way
That's what it said now
And it was [G]signed by
The
Secretary of
[F]Harbor
Valley
D [D].T .A.
Look at him
Now it happened that the
[G]PTA [D]was meeting that very afternoon
[G]Oh yes [D]it was now
They were [G]sure so surprised when
Miss
Johnson wore a mini dress in the room
Yes they was
She [D]boogalooed to the black[G]board
[D]And these are the words I heard her say
Oh yes she did now
She said, [G]I'd like to address
the [F]meeting of the
PTA
[D]Oh, yes, she did now
Look at him,
Bobby
Taylor, you sitting there
Sometimes you ask for a date
That's what she said now
And
Mrs.
[G]Taylor seems to use a lot of ice
While he's away
Yes, she does
And
Mr.
[D]Baker, can [G]you tell [D]me why your
secretary left this town?
You ain't never told that yet.
And should
Whittle
[G]Jones be told to kee[F]p her
window shades [D]way down?
I don't know.
Mr.
Harper couldn't be here.
He stayed too long [G]at
Kelly's bar [D]again.
Oh yes, he did now.
And if you [G]smell
Shirley
Thompson's breath,
you'll find she's had a little nipple gene.
Oh, yes, she did now.
And [D]she said, now you've got the nerve to
tell me as a mother [C]I'm [D]not fit.
That's what she said now.
This is [G]just a little hidden place up
[F]Harper
Valley.
Hypo[D]crite.
Oh, yes, it is now.
I wouldn't put you on
[G]You[D] see it really did happen
Just this way
Oh yes it did now
The [G]day my momma
Shopped you to the
[F]Harper
Valley
[D]PTA
Do it again
The [G]day my momma
Shopped you to the
[F]Harper
Valley
[D]PTA
I wanna say it one more time
The [G]day my momma
I'll stop to do the [F]hobo ballet,
[D]VTA
