VERSE 1
=======

D#
   Dear Mavis I'm compelled to write this letter

Cm
   In the hope that you may soon be getting better

D#
   I've a feeling you should go and see a doctor

Cm
   If you haven't then you know you really oughta

G#5
    I was worried so I went to see the vicar

       F5
But before I could confess he first confessed to be a stripper


VERSE 2
=======

D#
   Dear Mavis it was very strange to see him

Cm
   So I thought I'd write and ask your opinion

D#
   Should I grass on him, report him to the cardinal

Cm
   Or whether I should egg him on to turn professional

G#5
    If I dob on him they'll call him plastic scouser

         F5
But the only thing the stripper wears is plastic trousers


CHORUS
======

 C  C/B  Am  G5   G#5     G5     C
Mavis' opinion is all we really seek

 C  C/B  Am  G5   G#5     G5
Mavis' opinion is all we should we...

  Cm7            F5
Lie while he's still alive

           Cm7             F5
Should we lie while he's still alive

               G5                    G#5
'Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it


VERSE 3
=======

D#
   Dear Mavis, thought I'd follow up my letter

Cm
   Drop a line about the fate of our poor vicar

D#
   Very tragically his time on earth is ended

Cm
   Found him gagged and bound in stockings and suspenders

G#5
    Dear Mavis if you tell us what your thoughts are

       F5
And I hope that they're not biased 'cos you are the vicar's daughter


CHORUS
======

 C  C/B  Am  G5   G#5     G5     C
Mavis' opinion is all we really seek

 C  C/B  Am  G5   G#5     G5
Mavis' opinion is all we should we...

  Cm7         F5
Lie now that he has died

           Cm7          F5
Should we lie now that he has died

               G5                    G#5
'Cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

        Cm7
And we know him as our vicar and by night a part-time stripper

         F5
And the vicar got suspended in his stockings and suspenders

          Cm7
And he's making wine from water while he dresses like his daughter

         F5
And we know that he's a rip off 'cos we've seen him with his kit off

           Cm7          F5
Should we lie now that he has died

           Cm7          F5
Should we lie now that he has died
