There's a burlesque day here
where the gang loves to go
To see Queenie,
the cutie of the burlesque show
And the thrill of the evening
is when out Queenie skips
And the band plays the
polka while she strips
Take it off, take it off,
cries her voice from the rear
Take it off, take it off,
soon it's all you can hear
But she's always a lady
even in pantomime
So she stops, and always just in time
Take it off, take it off,
cries a voice from the rear
Take it off, take it off,
soon it's all you can give
But she's always a lady,
even in peta -mine
So she stops,
and always just in time
Queenie, queen of them all
Queenie, someday you'll fall
Someday church bells will chime
In a strip of the time
She's as fresh and as wholesome
As the flowers in May
And she hopes to retire
to the farm someday
But you can't buy a farm
until you're up in the chips
So the band plays the polka
while she strips
Take it off, take it off,
cries a voice from the ribs
Take it off, take it off,
soon it's all you can hear
But she's always a lady
even in pantomime
So she stops
That's all, boys you
