Title: Prunella
Artist: Benny Hill
Chords: , ,
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 / .
C / / E / / B / / D / /
[C]Poor old Prunella was [G7]built like a fella,
A / / A / / B / / G /
She [F]went round to see Doctor [G7]Kerr,
G C / / E / / B / / D /
He said, ^?[C]Now then, my case,^? but when she [G7]stripped to the waist,
/ / / / / /
He [F]couldn t help [G7]calling her ^?[C]sir^?.
/ C / / E / / B / / D /
^?Don t worry your head, I m a [G7]surgeon,^? he said,
/ A / / A / / B / / G /
^?I ll [F]graft you two on just like [G7]that,^?
G C / / E / / B / / D /
But he [C]went and got plastered, the [G7]silly old fool,
/ / / / / /
And he [F]grafted them [G7]onto her [C]back.
/ C / / E / / B / / D / /
Now poor old Prunella, she [G7]can t get a fella,
A / / A / / B / / G /
To [F]walk or to talk or ro[G7]mance with,
/ C / / E / / B / / D
Cause [C]no one wants to chat with a [G7]girl who looks like that,
/ / A / / B A G C / /
But by [F]golly, she s [G7]great fun to [C]dance with.
