Patricia The Stripper - Chris De Burgh
G9 = xx0201
Verse 1
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
and beseeching me to come and keep the score
And Maud say 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored'
And I really can't stand it anymore
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
to a little place I found down by the quay
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia
and the reason isn't very hard to see
She says God made her a sinner just to keep fat men thinner
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops
one can often see them queue right down the street
You see Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer
she also removes all her clothing for
Patricia is the best stripper in town
Chorus
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
to tremendous applause she took off her drawers
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
and threw it all in the air and everybody stared
and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
the police were banging on the door
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty four
Take it away boys
Instrumental
| F | D7 | Gm7 | C7 | F | D7 | Gm C | F |
Verse 2
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
the manner in which she was exposed
later on in court well everybody thought
a summer run in jail would be proposed
But the judge said 'Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
the facts of this case lie before me --- case dismissed!
this girl was in her working clothes
Chorus
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
to tremendous applause she took off her drawers
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
and threw it all in the air and everybody stared
and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
the police were yelling out for more
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty four -
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty four
Oh yeah!
