[Bb]
I want to tell you all the story about a Harpo Valley widow wife who [Eb] had a teenage daughter
that attended Harpo Valley Funeral Home.
[Bb] Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play.
[F] [Bb]
And she [Eb] said, Mama I got a note from [F] Harpo Valley [Bb] PTA.
Well the note says Mrs.
Jones, you're wearing your dress is way too high.
It's [Eb] been reported you've been drinking and running around with men and going wild.
[Bb] Now we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way.
And it [Eb] was signed by the [F] Secretary of Harpo Valley [Bb] PTA.
[Gb]
[B] Well it happened that the PTA was going to meet that very afternoon.
And [E] boy were they surprised as Mrs.
Jones and her mini skirt into the room.
And [B] as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say.
She [E] said I'd like to address this [Gb] meeting of the Harpo Valley [B] PTA.
Now there's Bobby Taylor sitting there and seven times he asked me for a date.
And [E] Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away.
And [B] Mr.
Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
And [E] shouldn't we all be told to keep [Gb] our windows shut or people will [B] be damned.
[G]
[Bm] Now [C] Mr.
Harper couldn't be here for she stayed too long in Kelly's bar again.
And if [F] you smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she had a little nip of gin.
And then [C] you had the nerve to tell me as a mother you think that I am pissed.
Well this [F] is just a little patentless [G] and you're all Harper Valley [C] hypocrites.
So I worked for it, it happened just this way.
