I really can’t stand it anymore.’

I’m going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
Dm F7
to a little place I found down by the quay
Bb Bbm

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

as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.

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
Bb A7
and as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor

But the judge said ‘Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
Dm G7 C7
the facts of this case lie before me case dismissed

the police were yelling at the door

on a saturday night in nineteen-twentyfour —
