Title: Prunella

Artist: Benny Hill

Chords: C, G7, F

I saw Benny Hill perform this song on a video I rented one time which had a

bunch of various skits and songs. He was doing various characters, such as

Roger Twitaker, and he sang this song while doing the character Anthony

Newley.

This song is 3/4 beat. I play it by picking the bass note followed either

by strums of the three high strings. The bass notes vary throughout the

song. Play either the bass note or a strum which is indicated by a '/'.

C / / E / / B / / D / /

[C]Poor old Prunella was [G7]built like a fella,

A / / A / / B / / G /

She [F]went 'round to see Doctor [G7]Kerr,

G C / / E / / B / / D /

He said, ^Ó[C]Now then, my case,^Ô but when she [G7]stripped to the waist,

/ A / / G A B C / / C /

He [F]couldn't help [G7]calling her ^Ñ[C]sir^Ò.

/ C / / E / / B / / D /

^ÓDon't worry your head, I'm a [G7]surgeon,^Ô he said,

/ A / / A / / B / / G /

^ÓI'll [F]graft you two on just like [G7]that,^Ô

G C / / E / / B / / D /

But he [C]went and got plastered, the [G7]silly old fool,

/ A / / G A B C / / C /

And he [F]grafted them [G7]onto her [C]back.

/ C / / E / / B / / D / /

Now poor old Prunella, she [G7]can't get a fella,

A / / A / / B / / G /

To [F]walk or to talk or ro[G7]mance with,

/ C / / E / / B / / D

'Cause [C]no one wants to chat with a [G7]girl who looks like that,

/ / A / / B A G C / /

But by [F]golly, she's [G7]great fun to [C]dance with.
