Harper Valley Pta — текст песни (Loretta Lynn)

I wanna tell you all a story about a Harper valley widowed wife
who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper valley junior high
her daughter came home one afternoon and didn`t even stop to play
and she said, "mom I got a note here from the Harper valley PTA"
well the note said: Mrs. Johnson you`re wearing your dresses way too high
and it`s reported you`ve been drinking and running around with men and going wild
and we don`t believe you should be bringing up your little girl this way
and it was signed the secretary of the Harper valley PTA

well it happened that PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon
and they were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room
and as she walked up to the blackboard, i still can 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
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 winter Jones be told to leave her window shades all perfectly laid 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
and then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I`m not fit
well this is just a little hating place and you`re all Harper valley hypocrites

no I wouldn`t put you on because it really did happen just that way
the day my momma socked it to the Harper valley PTA
the day my momma socked it to the Harper valley PTA
