I want to tell you all a story that a Hopper Valley widow by
who had [F] a teenage daughter that attended Hopper Valley Junior High.
Well her [C] daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
and she said, [F] Mom I gotta know here [G] from the Hopper Valley [C] PTA.
Well the note says Mrs.
Johnson you're wearing your dresses way too high.
It's been [F] reported you've been drinking and running around with men and going wild.
Now [C] we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way.
And it [F] was signed by the Secretary [G] Hopper Valley [C] PTA.
[G#] Well [C#] it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon.
And [F#] boy were they surprised when Mrs.
Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room.
And [C#] as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say.
She [F#] said I'd like to address this [G#] meeting of the Hopper Valley [C#] PTA.
Now there's Bobby Taylor sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date.
And [F#] Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away.
And [C#] Mr.
Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
And [F#] shouldn't Widow Jones be told to [G#] keep her window shades all pulled [C#] completely down?
[A]
Now [D] Mr.
Hopper couldn't be here cause he stayed too long at Kelly's bar again.
And [G] if you'll smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin.
And then you [D] have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think that I ain't fit.
Well [G] this is just a little patent [A] place and you're all Hopper Valley [D] hypocrites.
Now I wouldn't put you on because it really did it happen just this way.
That [G] day my mama sucked it to [A] the Hopper Valley [D] PTA.
