Take Off A Little Bit 1916 "Stop Look Listen"

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.

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 upon the floor;
because a banker or 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.

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 upon the floor;
because a banker or 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.

You'll be the main attraction
and pat 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 of three,
they all come from Missouri.
'Twas said by someone wise:
It pays to advertise."

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 upon the floor;
because a banker or 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.

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 upon the floor;
because a banker or 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.
