Paula, DeBurgh's song deserves to be posted.


Lyr. Add: Patricia the Stripper
Chris DeBurgh

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- out to dinner
With a gorgeous singer
To a little place I found
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 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
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 off her drawers
And with a lick of her lips
She undid al her clips
And threw it all in the air
As everybody stared.

And as the last piece of clothing
Fell to the floor
The police were banging on the door
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four.
Take it away, boys...

When Patricia was arrested
Everyone detested
The terrible manner in which
She was exposed.
Later on in court
Where everyone thought
A summer 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...
The girl was in her working clothes."

And with a swing of her hips
She started to strp
To tremendous applause
She took off her drawers
And with a lick of her lips
She undid all of her clips
Threw it all in the air
And everybody 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 nineteen twenty-four
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four.
