I [A] want to tell you all a story about a Hopper Valley widowed wife
[B] who [D] had a teenage daughter who attended Hopper Valley Junior High.
[F#m] [A] Well, her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play.
[E] There she [A] is.
[C#] And [D] she said, Mom, I got a note here [E] from the Hopper Valley [A] PTA.
Well, the note said, Mrs.
Johnson, you're wearing your dress is way too [F#] high.
[A]
[D] It's reported you've been drinking and or running around with men and going wild.
[A] And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way.
[D] And it was signed by the [E] Secretary Hopper Valley [A] PTA.
That [F]
[A#] PTA was going to meet that very afternoon.
And [D#] they were sure surprised when Mrs.
Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room.
Play like.
And [A#] as she walked up to the blackboard, I can still recall the words she had to say.
[D] She [D#] said, I'd like [Gm] to address this [F] meeting of the Hopper Valley [A#] PTA.
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date.
And [D#] Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever [D#] he's away.
And [A#] Mr.
Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
[D] And [D#] shouldn't Quinnipia Jones be told to [F] keep her when the shade's awful [A#] completely bad?
[F#]
Well, [B] Mr.
Hopper couldn't be here because he stayed too [F#] long at Kelly's [B] Bar again.
Oh, no, he's back.
And if [E] you smell Shirley Thompson's bread, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin.
And [B] then you have an urge to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not [F#] fit.
[B] Huh.
Well, [E] this is just a little patent [F#] place and you're a Hopper Valley [B] hypocrite. Yeah.
No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way.
The [E] day my mama sucked it to [F#] the Hopper Valley [B] PTA.
