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    /   /  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,
/     A    /   /        G   A   B       C     / / C /
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,
/         A   /   /        G A  B      C     / / C /
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.
