Patricia The Stripper
Words & Music: Chris De Burgh
[Verse]
C E7
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
Am C7
and beseeching me to come and keep the score.
F Fm
And Maud say 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.
C Am D7/A G7
I really can't stand it anymore.'
C E7
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
Am C7
to a little place I found down by the quay
F Fm
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia
C Am D9
and the reason isn't very hard to see.
G7 C E7
She says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner
Am C7
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
F Fm
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops
C Am D9
one can often see them queue right down the street.
G7 F E7
You see Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer
Am D7 G7
she also removes all her clothing for
F G C F C
Patricia is the best stripper in town.
[Chorus]
C G7 C A7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
Dm G7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers
C A7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
Am G
and threw it all in the air - ev'rybody stared
F E7
and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
C A7
the police were banging on the door
Dm G C F
on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.
C G7
Take it away boys.
C | A7 | Dm7 | G7 | C | A7 | Dm G | C
{instrumental}
[Verse]
G7 C E7
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
Am C7
the manner in which she was exposed
F Fm
later on in court well everybody thought
C Am D9
a summer run in jail would be proposed.
G7 F E7
But the judge said 'Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
Am D7 G7
the facts of this case lie before me case dismissed
F G C F C
this girl was in her working clothes.
[Chorus]
C G7 C A7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
Dm G7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers
C A7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
Am G
and threw it all in the air - ev'rybody stared
F E7
and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
C A7
the police were banging on the door
Dm G C F
on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.
