Patricia The Stripper Chords by Chris De Burgh

[F] _ Dennis is a [A] menace with his, anyone for tennis?
[Dm] And beseeching me to come and keep the [F] score.
_ _ [Bb]
And Maud says, oh Lord, I'm [Bbm] so [Eb] terribly [F] bored,
I really [G] can't stand it anymore.
[C] _ _ _ [F] I'm [Em] going [Fm] out [F] to dinner [A] with a gorgeous singer
[Dm] to a little place I found down by the [F] quay.
_ _ [Dm] Her name is Patricia.
[Bbm] She calls herself Delicia.
[F] And the reason [Dm] isn't very [B] hard to see.
[C] She says [F] God made her a sinner [A] just to keep fat men thinner,
as they [Dm] tumble down in heaps before [F] her feet.
_ _ [Bb] They hang around in groups like battle-weary troops.
[F] One can often see [Dm] them queue right down the street.
[C] You [Bb] see, Patricia, or Delicia, [A] not only is a singer,
[Dm] she also removes all her clothing.
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
For Patricia [C] is the best stripper [Dm] in [Bb] town.
_ [F] _ _ [C] With [F] a swing of her hip, [D] she started to strip.
[Gm] To tremendous [C] applause, she took off her drawers.
And [F] with a lick of her lip, [D] she undid all her clips.
[Gm] Do it all every hour.
[C] Everybody stared, and [Bb] as the last piece of clothing
[A] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _

But, poor [F] Patricia was arrested.
[A]
And everyone [Am] detested the manner in [Dm] which she [F] was exposed.
_ _ [Bb] Later on in court, [Bbm]
well, everybody thought
[Dm] a summer run in jail would be proposed.
[C] _ _ [Bb] But the judge said, Patricia, [A] or may I say, [Dm] Delicia,
the facts of this case lie [C] before me.
_ Case dismissed! _
[Bb] This gal [Am] was in her wedding [F] _
_ clothes.
[Fm] _ [C] _ And [F] with a swing of her hip, [D] she started to strip.
[Gm] To tremendous applause, [C] she took off her drawers.
And [F] with a lick of her lip, [D] she undid all her clips.
[Gm] Do it all every [C] hour.
Everybody stared, [Bb] and as the last piece of [A] clothing
But, on the floor, the [F]
police were yelling [D] out for more.
On [Gm] a Saturday night [C] in [Am] _ _ [F] 1924.
