Patricia The Stripper

Words & Music: Chris De Burgh

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.

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 man 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.

And with a swing of her hips she started to strip

to tremendous applause she took of her drawers

and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips

and threw it all in the air - ev'rybody 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-twentyfour.

Take it away boys.

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.

And with a swing of her hips...

and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor

the police were yelling at the door

on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour -

on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.

Oh yeah.
