Does anybody know the words to "Short Dress Gal",
recorded by the great Sam Morgan Band of New Orleans
in 1927? The words as far as I can figure them out are
as follows, but what is the last line? It sounds
something like "short dress over her thighs" but I
can’t be sure. Help, anyone?

I knew a little girl
Her name was Fee
She’d flirt with every man
That she did see
She’d flirt with a man
Called Mr Key
She had a dress measured
To her knee.
She went to the river
She couldn’t get across,
She paid five dollars
For an old cab horse.
The horse wouldn’t pull
She swapped it for a bull
All she could hear
The boys was sayin’
Won’t you lower it babe
Everybody’s lookin’
Won’t you lower it babe
Everyone can see
Won’t you lower it babe
Everybody’s lookin’
??????????????????????
