One of the Greatest Songs Ever Written
Dennis is a Menace
With his Anyone for Tennis?
And beseeching me to come and keep the score
And Maude said Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored
And I really can't stand it any more
I'm going, out to dinner
With a gorgeous singer
To a little place I find down by the quays.
Her name is Patricia
She calls herself Delicia
And the reason isn't very hard to see.
She says
God made me a singer 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 almost see them queue right down the street
For 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 all 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 banging on the door
All on a Saturday night
In 1924.
Take it away boys
(sax solo)
Now poor Patricia was arrested
And everyone detested
The manner in which she was exposed
Later on in court
Well everybody thought
A summer run in jail would be proposed
But the Judge Patricia
Or may I say Delicia?
The facts of this case lie before me.,,
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 everybody stared
And as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor
The police were yelling out for more
All on a Saturday night
In 1924
Oh yeah.
