Take It Off!

"Take it off, take it off," cries a voice from the rear
"Take it off, take it off," why that's all that you hear
But she's always a lady, even in pantomime,
So she stops....but always just in time!
---Johnnie Mercer
It has been at least a half century since I heard an appreciative patron yell "Take it Off" to the performing artiste. And even that was some wild and wooly place like the Baltimore burlesque show. Do people even say
"Take it off" any more, or has the country become too blase and sophisticated for such rants?
Got something to say?
