Dennis is a menace with his "Anyone for tennis?"

And Maud says, "Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored"
C Am7 D7 G7
I really can't stand it anymore...
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer,
To a little place I found down by the quay,
Her name is Patricia, but she calls herself Delicia
And the reason isn't very hard to see;
She says, God made her a sinner just to keep 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 them queue right down the street.

You see Patricia (or Delicia) Not only is a singer
Am D7 G7
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
Dm G7
To tremendous applause She took off her drawers
C A7
And with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
D7 G
Threw it all in the air and ev'rybody 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
But poor Patricia was arrested, and everyone detested,
The terrible manner in which she was exposed
Later on in court, well, everybody 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
