Chris De Burgh - Patricia The Stripper lyrics

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 know, 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 those 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 the Queue right down the street. Because Patricia Or Delicia Not only is a singer She also removes all her clothing For Patricia, Is the best stripper in town... And with a swing of her hips, She started to strip To tremendous applause She took of her drawers And with a lick of her lips She undid all her clips, Threw it all in the air And everyone 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... Well, 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 (knock, knock, knock) Case dismissed... This girl was in her working clothes... 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 everyone stared And as the last piece of clothing Fell to the floor, The police were yelling out for more (more) On a Saturday night In 1924.
