[Verse 1]
[D]I w[E]ant to tell y[A]ou all a story
about a [D]Hopper Valley widowed [A]wife
who had a [D]teenage daughter
who attended Hopper Valley Junior High.
[G]Well her [A]daughter came
home one afternoon
and didn't even stop to play.
She said, [D]Mom, I got a note here
from the [Am]Harper Valley [D]PTA[A]
The note said, Mrs. Johnson,
you're [D]wearing your dress
is way too [A]high
And it's repor[D]ted you've been drinking
and running around with
men and going wild
And we [A]don't believe
you ought to be
bringing up your little girl this way
It was [D]signed by the secretary,
[Bb]Harper Val[Am]ley [F]PTA
Well it [Bb]happened that the PTA
was gon[Eb]na meet that very afternoon
[Bb]And they were sure[Eb] surprised
when Mrs. Johnson
wore her mini -skirt into the room
And as she [Bb]stepped up to the blackboard,
I still recall the words she had to say
She [Eb]said, I'd like to address
this meeting
of the [Bb]Huff Valley PTA
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there
and [Eb]sev en times he's
asked me for a [Bb]date
And [Eb]Mrs. Taylor sure seems
to use a lot of ice
whenever he's away
And Mr. [Bb]Baker, can you tell us why your
secretary had to leave this town?
And shouldn't [Eb]Widow Jones be told
to [Bb]keep her window shades up
or completely down?
[A]Oh, Mr. Har[B]per couldn't be here,
cause he stayed too long [E]at Kelly's bar [B]again. And
if you [E]smell Shirley Thompson's breath,
you'll find she's had a little nip of gin.
Then you [B]have the nerve to
tell me you think
that as a mother I'm not fit.
Well, this is [E]just a little pagan place,
and [F#]you're all Hoffa Valley hypo[B]crites.[E]
[B]No, I wouldn't put you on
because I really did.
It happened just this week.
The day my [E]momma sucked two,
the [F#]Hoffa Valley [B]PTA.
The day my [E]mama sunk to the
hump of [F#]L .A. P .T .A.[B][B]
The day my [E]mama sunk to,
sunk to the hump of L .A. P .T .A.
