Testo Harper Valley PTA - Clarence Carter

Testo della canzone Harper Valley PTA (Clarence Carter), tratta dall'album Songs About School

Well I wanna tell you a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow wife
She had a teenage son who attended Harper Valley Senior High
Yes he did
One day he came home and he didn't even stop to play
No he didn't ya'll
He said "Mom, I got a note from the Harper Valley PTA"
Looka here
Said "Mrs. Johnson, you wear your dresses too high"
That's what the note said
"You've been runnin' 'round with men and goin' wild"
That's what it said
"And we don't believe you ought to be bringin' your son up this way"
That's what it said now
And it was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley PTA
Looka here
Now it happened that the PTA was meetin' that very afternoon
Oh yes it was now
They were sure so surprised when Mrs
Johnson wore her mini-dress in the room
Yes they was
She boogalooed to the blackboard and
These are the words I heard her say
Oh yes she did now
She said "I'd like to address the meetin' of the PTA"
Oh yes she did now
Looka here
"Bobby Taylor, you sittin' there, sometimes you askin' for a date"
That's what she said now
"And Mrs. Taylor seems to use a lot of ice while he's away"
Yes she does
"And Mr. Baker, can you tell me why your secretary left this town?"
You ain't never told that yet
"And shouldn't widow Jones be told
To keep her window shades way down?"
I don't know
"Mr. Harper couldn't be here, he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again"
Oh yes he did now
"And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin"
Oh yes she did now
"And she said 'Now you got the nerve
To tell me as a mother I'm not fit'"
That's what she said now
"This is just a little patent place of Harper Valley hypocrites"
Oh yes it is now
I wouldn't put you on, you see it really did happen just this way
Oh yes it did now
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
Do it again
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
I wanna say it one more time
The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
