ALEX DAY
- Lady Godiva Lyrics / with translationsSeventeen
a beauty queen
She made a ride that caused a scene in the town
Her long blonde hair
hanging down around her knees
All the cats who dig striptease
praying 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 (hey!),
How'd you like to be a star?
You're a girl who could go far
'specially dressed the way you are
She smiled at him
and gave her pretty head a shake
That was Lady G's mistake
Oh, 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 her striptease shows
Now she can't afford her clothes
Her long blonde hair
lying on a barber's floor
Doesn't need it long any more
Lady Godiva, why don't you wanna be a star?
a beauty queen
She made a ride that caused a scene in the town
Her long blonde hair
hanging down around her knees
All the cats who dig striptease

Lady Godiva
She found fame
and made her name
A Hollywood director came into town
And said to her (hey!),
How'd you like to be a star?
You're a girl who could go far
'specially dressed the way you are
and gave her pretty head a shake
That was Lady G's mistake
Oh, Lady Godiva

Now she can't afford her clothes
Her long blonde hair
lying on a barber's floor
Doesn't need it long any more
Lady Godiva, why don't you wanna be a star?
