But poor Patricia was arrested
And everyone detested,
The terrible manner in which
She was exposed
Later on in court
where everyone thought
A summer's run in jail
would be proposed..
But the judge said, "Patricia,
Or may I say Delicia,
The facts of this case lie before me (knock, knock, knock)
Case dismissed... This girl was in her working clothes...
And with a swing of her hips,
She started to strip
To tremendous applause
She took off her drawers
And with a lick of her lips
She undid all her clips,
Threw it all in the air
And everyone stared
And as the last piece of clothing
Fell to the floor,
The police were yelling out for more (more)
On a Saturday night
