[1st verse:]
|
The girls are over-dressing
|
It keeps the fellows guessing
|
I've heard them say the gowns today
|
Are really most distressing
|
Your ankle is detested
|
If you have over-dressed it
|
A man must see an inch or three
|
To keep him interested
|
An ankle now and then
|
Will catch the best of men
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
So take off a little bit
|
A tiny little bit and nothing more
|
Just raise your dress up a little bit
|
Don't let it drag along the floor
|
Because a banker, a broker, a lawyer, a sport
|
They always look longer when dresses are short
|
So take off a little bit
|
If you don't make a "hit"
|
Take off a little bit more
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
You'll be the main attraction
|
And put the boys in action
|
They'll linger nigh, you'll catch them by
|
Removing just a fraction
|
The chicken pickin' jury
|
Will go into a fury
|
If they can't see an inch or three
|
They all come from Missouri
|
'Twas said by someone wise
|
"It pays to advertise"
|
