Peter & Gordon Lady Godiva Lyrics:
Seventeen, a beauty queen.
She made a ride that caused a scene in the town.
Her long blonde hair.
Hangin' down around her knees.
All the cats who dig striptease,
Prayin' for a little breeze.
Her long blonde hair,
Falling down across her arms.
Hiding all the lady's charms.
Lady Godiva.
She found fame and made her name.
A hollywood director came into town.
And said to her, "How'd you like to be a star?"
You're a girl that could go far.
'Specially dressed the way you are."
She smiled at him,
Gave her pretty head a shake
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/KPF1 ]That was Lady G's mistake.
A-hey-hey-hey, Lady Godiva.
He directs "Certificate X."
And people now are craning their necks to see her.
'Cause she's a star. One that everybody knows.
Finished with the striptease shows.
Now she can't afford her clothes.
Her long blonde hair,
Lyin' on the barber's floor.
Doesn't need it long any more.
Lady Godiva.
