F5                           A5
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
        D5                              F5
and beseeching me to come and keep the score.
     Bb5                      Bb5
And Maud say 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.
  F5             D5      G5   C5
I really can't stand it anymore.'
          F5                     A5
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
      D5                              F5
to a little place I found down by the quay
    Bb5                    Bb5
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia
        F5           D5            G5
and the reason isn't very hard to see.
C5        F5                                  A5
She says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner 
        D5                               F5
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
      Bb5                         Bb5
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops
          F5             D5                    G5
one can often see them queue right down the street.
C5         Bb5                      A5
You see Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer
     D5                      G5   C5 
she also removes all her clothing for
  Bb5                 C5                    F5    Bb5    F5
Patricia is the best   stripper in town.
   F5    C5     F5                      D5
    And with a swing of her hips she started to strip
          G5                    C5
    to tremendous applause she took of her drawers
                F5                        D5
    and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
                  D5                 C5
    and threw it all in the air - ev'rybody stared
               Bb5                         A5
    and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
              F5                        D5
    the police were banging on the door
           G5               C5              F5     Bb5
    on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.
              F5         C5
    Take it away boys.
    F5  |  D5  |  G5  |  C5  |  F5  |  D5  |  G5  C5  |  F5  
    {instrumental}
    

C5        F5                         A5
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
    D5                             F5
the manner in which she was exposed
Bb5                     Bb5
later on in court well everybody thought
     F5             D5                 G5
a summer run in jail would be proposed.
C5         Bb5                     A5
But the judge said 'Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
     D5                           G5 C5
the facts of this case lie before me case dismissed 
Bb5                     C5              F5    Bb5    F5
this girl was in her working clothes.

    And with a swing of her hips...
               Bb5                         A5
    and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor
              F5                        D5
    the police were yelling at the door
           G5               C5                F5  F5 D5
    on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour -
           G5              C5                 F5  F5  Bb5  Bb5  C5
    on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.
          F5
    Oh yeah.
