The Wombats - Patricia The Stripper lyrics

She works downtown in an unmarked bar

Flyin' round poles

She always gave me the fright of my life

I didn't mean to get involved

It was the alcohol

Mixed with and empty feeling inside

It's such a bad idea to fall in love

With a 'lady of the night'

Why didn't God give her two left feet

Then she couldn't run away from me!

Months go by and I'm alone in bed

While she's greasing up

For when the businessmen and lawyers arrive

I've got to wear a beard a suit and tie

To get past the door

If I want to see my girl tonight

I go to all this effort just to see my fair Patricia

Going home with some other guy

Why didn't God give her two left feet

Then she couldn't run away from me!

Why didn't God give her two left feet

Then she couldn't run away from me!

She thinks I'm sad and that's alright

But she doesn't hate me so there's my little alibi

I can't, I can't leave

I can't, I can't, I can't

She's my coked-up botox girl

Patricia, Patricia

Oh Patricia the Stripper, you are my sunshine

Oh Patricia the stripper, come on home tonight

Oh Patricia the Stripper, you are my sunshine

So why can't you come home with me tonight?
