Patricia The Stripper
Composer(s): Chris De Burgh
Performer(s): Chris De Burgh



Dennis is a menace
With his "Anyone for tennis?"
And he'd beseech me to come keep the score
And Maude says, "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 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 the
Queue right down the street

You see, 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...

But, Patricia was arrested
And everyone detested
The 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 gal 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
