F A7  
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'  
 Dm F7  
and beseeching me to come and keep the score.  
 A# A#m  
And Maud say 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.  
 F Dm G7/D C7  
I really can't stand it anymore.'  
 F A7  
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer  
 Dm F7  
to a little place I found down by the quay  
 A# A#m  
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia  
 F Dm G9  
and the reason isn't very hard to see.  
 
C7 F A7  
She says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner  
 Dm F7  
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.  
 A# A#m  
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops  
 F Dm G9  
one can often see them queue right down the street.  
C7 A# A7  
You see Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer  
 Dm G7 C7  
she also removes all her clothing for  
 A# C F A# F  
Patricia is the best stripper in town.  
 
 F C7 F D7  
 And with a swing of her hips she started to strip  
 Gm C7  
 to tremendous applause she took of her drawers  
 F D7  
 and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips  
 Dm C  
 and threw it all in the air - ev'rybody stared  
 A# A7  
 and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor  
 F D7  
 the police were banging on the door  
 Gm C F A#  
 on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.  
 F C7  
 Take it away boys.  
 
 F | D7 | Gm(7) | C7 | F | D7 | Gm C | F  
 {instrumental}  
  
 
C7 F A7  
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested  
 Dm F7  
the manner in which she was exposed  
A# A#m  
later on in court well everybody thought  
 F Dm G9  
a summer run in jail would be proposed.  
C7 A# A7  
But the judge said 'Patricia, or may I say Delicia,  
 Dm G7 C7  
the facts of this case lie before me case dismissed  
A# C F A# F  
this girl was in her working clothes.  
 
 
 And with a swing of her hips...  
 A# A7  
 and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor  
 F D7  
 the police were yelling at the door  
 Gm C7 F F7 D7  
 on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour -  
 Gm7 C7 F F7 A# A#m C7  
 on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour.  
 F7  
 Oh yeah.
