Could some kind Joe Clone correct this verse in a version of this song (The Tattooed Lady) sung by Rudy Vallee in 1934:

Her husband returned and the moment they kissed,
His eyes read the writing from elbow to wrist,
He foamed at the month and in fury he hissed,
His rage drove him utterly nuts;
She was hurt by his attitude deeply (deeply)
And hysterically started to laugh (ha, ha, haaaah)
Then she rolled up her stocking and showed him the fiend
Who was sawing a woman in half – (CHO)

The verse should read:

Her husband returned and the moment they kissed,
His eyes read the writing from elbow to wrist,
He foamed at the month and in fury he hissed,
His rage drove him utterly nuts;
She was hurt by his attitude deeply (deeply)
And hysterically started to laugh (ha, ha, haaaah)
Then she rolled DOWN her stocking and showed him the fiend
Who was sawing a woman in half – (CHO)

Makes much more sense.

Cheerily, Charley Noble

I don't know about these things, Charley. My wife doesn't wear stockings...
