OP Lay lady, lay = lay [yourself down] lady, lay [yourself down]
Of course this argument could be dragged out any time this "error" is encountered. It is also used to argue that the difference between lie and lay is minimal and can be ignored. I could do the same with bring and take or (Heaven forfend) imply and infer. The point is that this usage is quite common, to the point that it is becoming correct.
