Patricia the Stripper Chris de Burgh
Capo 5
[C]De[E7]nnis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
[Am]and[C7] beseeching me to come and keep the score.
[F]An[Fm]d Maud says, 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.
[C]I [Am]rea[D7]lly can't stand it anymore.'
[G7]I'm[C] g[E7]oing out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
[Am]to [C7]a little place I found down by the quay,
[F]he[Fm]r name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia,
[C]an[Am]d t[D7]he [G]reason isn't very hard to see.
[C]Sh[E7]e says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner,
[Am]as [C7]they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
[F]Th[Fm]ey hang around in groups like battle weary troops,
[C]on[Am]e c[D7]an [G]often see them queue right down the street.
[F]Yo[E7]u see, Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer,
[Am]she[D7] al[G7]so removes all her clothing - - -
[F]fo[G]r [C]Pa[F]tr[C]icia is the best stripper in to....wn.
[G7]And[C] w[A7]ith a swing of her hips she started to strip,
[Dm]to [G7]tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
[C]an[A7]d with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
[Dm]and[G] threw it all in the air, everybody stared !
[F]An[E7]d as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
[C]th[A7]e police were banging on the door,
[Dm]on [G]a [C]Sa[F]turday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.
[C]Ta[G]ke it away boys!
[C] [A7] [Dm] [G7] [C] [A7] [Dm] [G] [C]
[G7]But[C] p[E7]oor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
[Am]the[C7] manner in which she was exposed.
[F]La[Fm]ter on in court, well, everybody thought
[C]a [Am]sum[D]me[G]r run in jail would be proposed.
[F]Bu[E7]t the judge said, ?Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
[Am]the[D7] fa[G7]cts of this case lie before me. Case dismissed !
[F]Th[G]is[C] g[F]ir[C]l was in her working clo.....thes !!?
[G7]And[C] w[A7]ith a swing of her hips she started to strip,
[Dm]to [G7]tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
[C]an[A7]d with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
[Dm]and[G] threw it all in the air, and everybody stared !
[F]An[E7]d as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
[C]th[A7]e police were yelling out the door,
[Dm]on [G]a [C]Sa[A7]turday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.
[Dm]On [G7]a S[C]at[F]ur[C]day night in nineteen-twenty-four. Oh yeah !
