Standard (EADGBE)
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 '/'.
Poor old Prunella was built like a fella,
She went 'round to see Doctor Kerr,
He said, ^?Now then, my case,^? but when she stripped to the waist,
/
He couldn't help calling her ^?sir^?.
^?Don't worry your head, I'm a surgeon,^? he said,
^?I'll graft you two on just like that,^?
But he went and got plastered, the silly old fool,
/
And he grafted them onto her back.
Now poor old Prunella, she can't get a fella,
To walk or to talk or romance with,
'Cause no one wants to chat with a girl who looks like that,
But by golly, she's great fun to dance with.
