Patricia The Stripper Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Dennis is a [F#]menace with his "anyone
for tennis?"
And beseech[Bm]ing me to come and keep
[D]the score
[G]And Maud saya "Oh Lord! I'm
[Gm]so terribly bored!"
[G]I rea[D]lly can't sta[Bm]nd it anymor[E]e[A]
I'm [F#]go i[E]ng

[Verse 2]
[D]out to dinner,
with a [F#]gorgeous singer
To a [B]little place I've [Bm]found
down by [D]the quay
Her [G]name is Patricia,
she calls [Gm]herself Delicia
And [D]the reason [Bm]isn't very hard [E]to see
[A]She says

[Verse 3]
God made [D]her a sinner
just to keep [F#]fat men thinner
As they [B]tumble down [Bm]in
heaps before [D]her feet
[Bm]They [G]hang around in groups [Gm]like
battle-weary troops
troops
[G]One can [D]of ten see them [Bm]queue
right down [E]the street
[A]You see Patricia[G],
or Delicia, not [F#]only is a singer
She [Bm]also removes all her [Em]clothing[A]
For Patri[G]cia is the be[A]st
stripper in [D]town[G]
[A]And with a [D]swing of her
hips [B]she started to strip
To tre[Em]mendous applause
she [A]took off her drawers
And with a [D]lick of her lips she
un[B]did all the clips
Threw it [Em]all in the air,
an[A]d everyone stared
And as the [G]last piece of
clothing [F#]fell to the floor
The [D]police were banging on the [B]door
On a [Em]Saturday night,
in [A]nineteen twenty-four
[D]Take [G]Take it [D]away boy[A]s![D]
[B][F#][Em][A]
[D][B][Em][A][D]
[A]But poor Patri[D]cia was arrested
[F#]and everyone detested
[B]The manner [Bm]in which she was exposed
[D]And[Bm] later on[G] in court,
[Gm]well, everybody thought
A [D]summer run in [Bm]jail would be proposed

[Verse 4]
[E]But[A] the judge [G]said, "Patricia
[F#]Or may I say, [Bm]Delicia
The facts of this case [Em]lie before [A]me
Case dismissed,
[G]this girl was in her [A]working clothes!"
[D][G]

[Verse 5]
[A]
And with a [D]swing of her hips,
[B]she started to strip
To tre[Em]mendous applause
she [A]took off her drawers
And with a [D]lick of her lips she
[Bm]undid all her clips
Threw it [Em]all in the air,
and [A]everyone stared
And as the [G]last piece of
clothing [F#]fell to the floor
The [D]police were yelling out for [Bm]more!
[B]On a Sat[Em] urday nig[G]ht in
[A]nineteen twenty-four
[D]On [Bm]On a [B]Sat [Em]urday night[G] in
[A]nineteen twenty-[D]four
