Lady Godiva -- Peter and 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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/peter_and_gordon/lady_godiva.html ]
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't afford her clothes  Her long blonde hair  Lyin' on the barber's floor
Doesn't need it long anymore   Lady Godiva                                      (sing365)

According to legend, Lady Godiva rode naked on a horse through the streets of Coventry, England. She did this to ease the tax burden of the citizens that was imposed by her husband, who agreed to relieve the toll if she did this.                                   (songfacts)
