Chris De Burgh — Patricia the Stripper

[Verse 1] Dennis is a menace With his "Anyone for tennis?" And he'd beseech me to come keep the score And Maude said, "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 said, 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" [Hook] 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 to the floor The police were banging on the door On a Saturday night in 1924 Take it away boys... (Musical Interlude) [Verse 2] Well, poor Patricia was arrested And everyone detested The terrible manner in which she was exposed Later on in court, where everyone thought A summer's run in jail would be proposed But the judge said, "Patricia, or may I say Delicia The facts of this case lie before me" (bang bang bang) "Case dismissed!" This girl was in her working clothes [Hook 2] 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 Threw it all in the air And everybody stared And as the last piece of clothing Fell to the floor The police were yelling out for more On a Saturday night in 1924 (x2)
