Patricia The Stripper Tab uke di Chris De Burgh

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 Maude says 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.'
      C            Am          D7   G7
And 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      D7  G7
and the reason isn't very hard to see
         C                                  E7
She says God made her a sinner just to keep fat men 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                   D7     G7
one can often see them queue right down the street
        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 G7
Patricia is the best stripper in town

Chorus
           C                     A7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
   Dm                      G7
to tremendous applause she took off her drawers
           C                    A7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all the clips
         Am                 G
threw it all in the air and everyone stared
           F                      E7
and as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor
    C                          A7
the police were banging on the door
     Dm                G              C    F C G7
on a saturday night in nineteen twentyfour
 
Take it away boys

(Instrumental. Repeat the chorus)

         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               D7    G7
a summer run in jail would be proposed
        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 G7
this girl was in her working clothes

Chorus
           C                     A7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
   Dm                      G7
to tremendous applause she took off her drawers
           C                    A7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all the clips
         Am                 G
threw it all in the air and everyone stared
           F                      E7
and as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor
    C                            A7
the police were yelling out for more
     Dm                G7             C    C7 A7
on a saturday night in nineteen twentyfour
     Dm                G7             C    C7 F Fm G7
on a saturday night in nineteen twentyfour
   C7
Oh yeah
