Title: Prunella Artist: Benny Hill Chords: C, G7, F
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]Poor old Prunella was [G7]built like a fella, / / / / / / / She [F]went 'round to see Doctor [G7]Kerr, / / / / / / / He said, ^Ó[C]Now then, my case,^Ô but when she [G7]stripped to the waist, / / / / / / He [F]couldn't help [G7]calling her ^Ñ[C]sir^Ò.
/ / / / / / / / ^ÓDon't worry your head, I'm a [G7]surgeon,^Ô he said, / / / / / / / / ^ÓI'll [F]graft you two on just like [G7]that,^Ô / / / / / / / But he [C]went and got plastered, the [G7]silly old fool, / / / / / / And he [F]grafted them [G7]onto her [C]back.
/ / / / / / / / / Now poor old Prunella, she [G7]can't get a fella, / / / / / / / To [F]walk or to talk or ro[G7]mance with, / / / / / / / 'Cause [C]no one wants to chat with a [G7]girl who looks like that, / / / / / / But by [F]golly, she's [G7]great fun to [C]dance with.
