Intro: 8 bars (key of D)
This girl is a goddess and a gentle devil
Who can take good care of me
This girl is a temptress and a charming angel
Who knows how to play with me
Sweet Patty, my beloved
Keep going on with me
Sweet Patty, my beloved
Do it, do it just for me
Every night she's ready, without hesitation
To lend me her loving heart
She's made of energy, full of good intention
She's a truly work of art
Sweet Patty, my beloved
Keep going on with me
Sweet Patty, my beloved
Do it, do it just for me
Instrumental: 8 bars
This girl is a goddess and a gentle devil
Who can take good care of me
This girl is a temptress and a charming angel
Who knows how to play with me
Sweet Patty, my beloved
Keep going on with me
Sweet Patty, my beloved
Do it, do it just for me
Sweet Patty, my beloved
Keep going on with me
Sweet Patty, my beloved
Do it, do it just for me
Sweet Patty, Sweet Patty
Sweet Patty, Sweet Patty

A happy love song...sweet.
What is it about you Canadians and the tropics LOL? Neil does a great job of snowbird trop-rock, and Guy, whenever you reach for your ukulele, I am transported to a world of palm trees and swaying hips in grass skirts. It's a sweet sound.
A couple of minor suggestions.
In the line "She's made of energy, full of good intention," the stress on the "-er-" in "energy sounds awkward. This would be solved by stressing the first word "She," allowing the next stress to fall on "en-" which sounds a lot more natural.
"She's a truly work of art" should be "She's truly a work of art."
I may or may not be an enigma
http://mysteriousbeings.com
Gavin noted the 'truly' item. It could say, 'She's a true work of art' or 'She's truly a work of art'.
A flaw often cited is the switch from the Singer Character speaking to the audience about 'her' and speaking directly to 'her', the Love-Interest Character, Patty. This Lyric does that but I think it can work that way. Could it be changed to speaking directly to her?
SWEET PATTY
