            Patricia The Stripper - Chris De Burgh

G9 = xx0201

[Verse 1]
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
And 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 men 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

[Chorus]
    C7     F                      D7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
      Gm                    C7
to tremendous applause she took off her drawers
            F                        D7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
              Gm                 C
and threw it all in the air and everybody 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-twenty four
          F         C7
Take it away boys

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
   F    C7     F                      D7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
      Gm                    C7
to tremendous applause she took off her drawers
            F                        D7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
              Gm                 C
and threw it all in the air and everybody stared
           Bb                         A7
and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
          F                        D7
the police were yelling out for more
          Gm               C7                F  F7 D7
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty four -
       Gm7              C7                 F  F7  Bb  Bbm  C7
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty four
      F7
Oh yeah!
