Lyrics The Wombats

The Wombats

Patricia the Stripper

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

Its 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?
