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 key.

,

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 sat-rday 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,
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 sat-rday night
in 1924…
