Last night, on KJAZ, I heard a record of Lester Young singing (yes, that's
right!) a version of "It Takes Two to Tango", with some raunchy (and
partially unintelligible) lyrics. Like, "Drop yer drawers, Drop your
drawers, take 'em off ...". Does anyone have the full lyrics for this
version?

Thanks.

Well, 27 years later I can say the song may be found on The President Plays with the Oscar Peterson Trio. It Takes Two (to Tango) is the last cut on the album, including a couple of takes and running over 5 minutes. The lyrics can be very plainly heard. You can listen to it on Spotify here:
