Lyrics by: Riley, Jeannie C.; Melody by: Hall, Tom T.
Y'all remember Harper Valley And the Harper Valley PTA Well, have you ever wondered where they are And what those folks are doin' today Now, things have changed a lot, But we all seem to understand things better by and by Now, my daughter is the mother of two children At the Harper Valley High
Well, the daughter came to see me Sellin' tickets for the high school dance I could win a brand new album by some Stray Cats If I'd only buy a chance Well, I bought the tickets and the chance To win a brand new rock 'n' roll LP And when Friday came, I walked into the place My dress was well below my knees
Now, Mr. Harper took my ticket and He smiled at me sober as a judge Shirley Thompson, she was there with him She shook my hand and then gave me a hug Ya know, they're married now, and my, They look so happy and contented side by side And to my surprise, Bobby Taylor never Took his eyes off of his wife
Mr. Baker stirred the punch It was lemonade with nothin' on the side His secretary smiled at me And said she was so happy as his bride Widow Jones is dead, she and a young kid Missed a curve on Lover's Lane Mr. Kelley's gone, he drank until They said it took his liver and his brain
Now, the music started up And it was louder than a thunder storm in May Well, I stood there and I laughed To see the way the kids all get their kicks today Then I saw a man who gave a cigarette To some small kid too young to smoke He was a full-grown man and he was set up In the parkin' lot sellin' dope
Well, I walked around the place And saw the drummer sniffin' powder up his nose Then I walked out through the parkin' lot And saw these kids were takin' off their clothes They were drinkin' beer and poppin' pills And actin' like they were all havin' fun I got so mad, I thought at first I'd go Back to the house and get a gun
Then I went back to my home and took My Bible out and said a little prayer Now, tomorrow, I can tell 'em that God loves 'em and I tell 'em that I care I think back fifteen years ago when I was wild and wore a mini skirt Ain't no way I can explain the things I did Or the people that I hurt
Well, the music keeps on ringin' in my ears And I can hear the drummer's beat I can see the way things are and I can see The way the kids are thinkin' needs Well, tomorrow afternoon, the PTA'll meet And I got things to say To a brand new generation of the Harper Valley PTA
To a brand new generation of the Harper Valley PTA
