Patricia The Stripper
Words & Music: Chris De Burgh

F A7
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
Dm F7
and beseeching me to come and keep the score.
Bb Bbm
And Maud say 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.
F Dm G7/D C7
I really can't stand it anymore.'
F A7
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
Dm F7
to a little place I found down by the quay
Bb Bbm
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia
F Dm G9
and the reason isn't very hard to see.

C7 F A7
She says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner
Dm F7
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
Bb Bbm
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops
F Dm G9
one can often see them queue right down the street.
C7 Bb A7
You see Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer
Dm G7 C7
she also removes all her clothing for
Bb C F Bb F
Patricia is the best stripper in town.

F C7 F D7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
Gm C7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers
F D7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
Dm C
and threw it all in the air - ev'rybody stared
Bb A7
and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
F D7
the police were banging on the door
Gm C F Bb
on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.
F C7
Take it away boys.

F | D7 | Gm(7) | C7 | F | D7 | Gm C | F
{instrumental}


C7 F A7
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
Dm F7
the manner in which she was exposed
Bb Bbm
later on in court well everybody thought
F Dm G9
a summer run in jail would be proposed.
C7 Bb A7
But the judge said 'Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
Dm G7 C7
the facts of this case lie before me case dismissed
Bb C F Bb F
this girl was in her working clothes.


And with a swing of her hips...
Bb A7
and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
F D7
the police were yelling at the door
Gm C7 F F7 D7
on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour -
Gm7 C7 F F7 Bb Bbm C7
on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.
F7
Oh yeah.
