Lady Godiva Lyrics - Peter & Gordon

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 

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 afford her clothes
