[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"
