The Lady Is A Tramp She wined and dined on Mulligan stew And never wished for turkey As she hitched and hiked and grifted too From Maine to Albuquerque Alas, she missed the Beaux Arts Ball And what is twice as sad She was never at a party Where they honored Noel Ca'ad But social circles spin too fast you see Her Hobohemia is the place to be She gets too hungry for dinner at eight She likes the theatre and never comes late She never bothers with anyone she hates That is why this lady is a tramp She don't like crap games with barons or earls Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls Won't dish the dirt with the rest of those girls That's why this lady is a tramp She like the free fresh wind in her hain, life without care She's broke, no joke Hates California, too cold, too damp That's why this lady is a tramp She gets too hungry to wait for dinner at eight She likes the theatre, but never comes late She never bothers with anyone she hates That's why this lady is a tramp She don't like crap games with sharpies and frogs Won't go to Harlem in Lincolns or Fords Don't dish the dirt with the rest of those girls That's why this lady is a tramp She loves the free fresh wind in her hair, life without care I'm broke, no joke Hates California, too cold, too damp That's why this lady, that's why the lady That's why this lady is a tramp
