This is the place to be tonight.
All those [G] people at home are wishing they were here because tonight

[Bb]
[G]
And indeed it would be nice to carry on till dawn.
I think we should in that case after the [Eb] show.
I think we should carry on the party in her house
[N] Okay
Bring lots of wine and lots of casuvaga
No doubt the boys and the band will show up later having investigated a place called Hillbrow
Where [Ab] the word massage takes on a completely different meaning
I'm not for that kind of carry on [C] you see after the show.
I'm going
[Dm] [F] out to dinner [A] with a gorgeous singer
[Dm] To a little place I found here in [D] Johannesburg
[Bb] Her name is Katrisha.
[Bbm] She calls [Ab] herself a loser [F] and the reason [D] isn't very hard to [Dm] see
[D] She [F] says God made her a sinner just to keep [A] those
Bad men in her.
[Dm] As they tumble down in heaps [Fm] before the people
[D] [Bb] They hang around [F] in groups like [Db] battle-weary [Ab] troops.
[F] Women often see them queue right [Dm] down the street
[Bb] You see Patricia, oh delicious, not [A] only is she a singer
[Dm]
She also [Bm] removes [G] all her clothing
[C]
[D] For [Bb] Patricia
Is [C] the best stripper [F] in town
[C]
And with [Fm] a swing of her hips
[D] She started to strip
[Gm] Built up in the slam bars
[C] She took up her drawers
[F] And with a lick of her lips
[D] She unlit all the clips
[Gm] Blowed it all in the air
[G] And everybody [C] said
And [Bb] as the last piece of clothing
[A] They hurled it up
The [Fm] police walked back in the [D] door
And [Gm] started in [C] In 1924 [Cm] She's forever
[Fm] [Bb] Let's get up and [C] dance, come on

But,
[C] [F] poor Patricia
Was arrested [A] and everyone detested
[D] The awful manner in [Dm] which she was exposed
[Dm] [Bb] Later on he caught one [Db] Everybody thought
[F] A summer run [D] in jail would be [Gm] the post
[C] [Bb] But the judge said, Patricia
[A] Oh may I say Delicious
[D] The dreadful facts
Of this sordid
Yet somehow strangely appealing case
[G]
Are upstairs in my bedroom
[B] You shall [N] come up there with me my dear
We shall write a book together
And send it to the Sunday Times
They'll print anything
[G] And then we will go and live in Tahiti
[Eb]
Case dismissed [Bb] This girl
[D] Wasn't a whore
[F] [C]
I'm with
[F] A skin on the wrist
[Dm] And a [Bb] script
Through [Gm] the limbs of that rose
[C] She choked off that rose
[F] And with a lick of her lips
She ended [D] up a bitch
[Gm] With all [C]
[Bb] her teeth
The [A] police [F] were getting out [D] the door
